Study 10: Potential for the electrification of industrial thermal processes – Phase 2
As part of its work to support innovation and energy efficiency in industry, ALLICE sought to inform its members about the potential for electrification of various industrial thermal processes and the competitiveness of the electric solutions available across different sectors.
In 2021, CETIAT and CETIM carried out an initial study on behalf of ALLICE into the potential for the electrification of thermal processes (the ‘PEP 1’), which analysed the technical, economic and operational potential of switching to electric power at the level of an industrial site, as well as areas for innovation in electrification.
To complement the PEP 1 study, ALLICE commissioned Enea Consulting to carry out a second study (‘PEP 2 study’), of which this report is a summary. The aim of the PEP 2 study is to broaden the scope of the PEP 1 study to the national level in order to provide an overview of the potential for electrification across various industrial sectors by 2035, as well as a critical analysis of the underlying trends in electrification, particularly in relation to the long-term dynamics of the energy markets.
The study consists of three parts:
- Calculation of the maximum technical and economic potential for the electrification of industrial processes in France by 2035;
- Assessment of the impact of long-term trends in energy and CO₂ market prices on the potential for electrification, based on three pricing scenarios;
- Feasibility analysis of industrial electrification for the mainland France electricity grid and its externalities
Co-funded by ADEME, this study is the subject of a detailed public summary, which can be found below (click the ‘Summary’ download button):
