Cross-cutting Topics

In addition to industry sector-specific work, Global Efficiency Intelligence has conducted a substantial amount of work on cross-cutting topics related to industrial decarbonization. Some of these cross-cutting topics are:

  • Hydrogen use in the industry, both as feedstock and fuel

  • Alternative fuels in the industry

  • CCUS in industry

  • Motor systems efficiency

  • Boilers and steam systems’ efficiency

  • Industrial energy assessment and audits

  • Supply chain energy and carbon footprint
