European Forum Alpbach 2021 – Technology Symposium

Breakout Session 9: New Energy for Industry – Industrial Leadership Through Energy Innovations

The manufacturing industry is responsible for a significant share of global energy consumption and CO₂ emissions. The switch to renewable energies and the increase in energy efficiency to achieve the European climate protection goals pose great challenges for domestic industry. Nevertheless, the question for the transformation of the industrial energy system is no longer “if”, but “how” it can succeed.
