Accelerating The Transition From Fossil Fuels And Securing Energy In this episode of engineering the future, unsw lecturer dr emma lovell and industry expert constantine tsounis, join stemm journalist neil martin to explain how they are made and why they are so. Using renewable energy such as wind and solar to create environmentally friendly electricity is great but what can we do to replace the use of fossil fuels in industrial sectors that can't easily be electrified?.
When Renewables Replace Fossil Fuels To help sustainability efforts, we examine five major pathways to industrial decarbonization that are now benefiting from better technologies and wider applications. electrification: direct fuel combustion is responsible for 73% of global industrial energy usage, while only 27% is from electricity. For example, industries that depend on co2—like food and beverage, greenhouses and water treatment—have long relied on fossil derived carbon captured during ammonia or ethanol production. America’s department of energy has identified four key technology pathways for industrial decarbonization: energy efficiency, electrification, low carbon fuels, and ccus. Finding a pathway to replace fossil fuels in big industries using renewable energy such as wind and solar to create environmentally friendly electricity is great but what can we do to replace the use of fossil fuels in industrial sectors that can't easily be electrified?.

In this compilation, mckinsey experts and corporate leaders describe emerging opportunities for industrial operators to help lead the way to a lower carbon future. In many industries, low carbon hydrogen will substitute fossil fuels in the course of the transformation to climate neutrality. this paper contributes to understanding this transformation. This pie chart shows where the efforts ought to be focused to replace fossil fuels. along with decarbonizing energy, hundreds of gigatons of carbon dioxide must be removed from the atmosphere. Scholars and policymakers debate which approaches should be undertaken to leave fossil fuels underground (lffu). however, existing scholarship has not yet inventoried and evaluated the array of approaches to lffu based on their effectiveness, equity, or feasibility.
