Industrial heat from renewable energy is a rapidly-growing field right now. Lot of ‘box of rocks’ companies in the field. I know Rondo has some pilots for cement plants making clinker using renewable energy, for example.
Solar is already so cheap that it makes sense to switch to it as your energy source as the tech allows it – and the tech is already allowing it. Hopefully wind will catch up to that point soon too.
It’s not a first as the article suggests.
Sweden is way ahead on making steel production carbon neutral. It’s not about capturing the carbon - it’s about not using carbon at all.
