Infographics: Electrifying Industrial Heat in India

This fact sheet consists of a series of infographics detailing the economic and environmental implications of electrifying industrial heat in India, focusing on levelized costs of heat, energy use by sector, and the impact of clean energy technologies on air pollution and CO2 emissions.

• The document asserts that strategic policies can leverage inexpensive solar energy to ensure that the electrification of industrial heat in India is more cost-effective than the majority of fossil fuel-based heat sources.
• The infographics provided in the document analyze various metrics including the levelized cost of heat across temperature ranges (from <100 °C to 1,000-1,800 °C), industrial energy use by subsector and temperature for 2022, and the resulting CO2 and conventional pollutant emissions.
• The material examines the relationship between energy sources and public health, specifically tracking deaths caused annually by industrial air pollution by energy type within India.
