The Emergence of Carbon-Free Electricity and Electrification in Various Sectors
The push towards carbon-free electricity aims to provide this energy source as affordably and widely as possible. This effort involves electrifying all sectors, significantly impacting transportation and building heating. In transportation, electric vehicles—including cars, vans, buses, and trucks—are advancing, with successful trials of electric freight hauls in states like California and New York demonstrating the capability of these vehicles to cover up to 400 miles per charge. In building heating, there is potential to electrify homes, apartments, office buildings, and even varying temperature industrial processes. Companies such as Antora and Rondo Energy are pioneering solutions for electrifying both lower and higher temperature industrial process heating.
