Electrification as a Way to Increase Energy Efficiency and Decarbonize [caption id="attachment_12386" align="alignright" width="180"] Erik Delarue[/caption] As the world moves away from fossil fuels, electrification is set to play a major role in reducing carbon emissions and improving energy efficiency across various sectors. This shift is expected to lower overall energy demand (at least in already industrialized countries) while simultaneously increasing the electricity demand (one could project a roughly doubling of the latter by 2050). Direct electrification is seen as a “no-regret” approach, as the widespread adoption of energy-efficient appliances, heat pumps in buildings, and electrified transportation are key examples of how electrification can enhance energy efficiency. Also in industry, electrification…
