Abstract:
The European Union (EU) has set ambitious targets for the decarbonization of its activities by 2050. The path for the decarbonization has specially focused on the emissions generated by energy intensive industries (EII).These are known to contribute to a third of the total greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. In the current contribution three relevant industrial sectors are analyzed: ceramics, glass and steel. A common strategy has been followed for the assessment. Special attention has been focused on the energy requirements, GHG emissions, current overall production process employed, circular economy initiatives, brief description of successful cases of energetic biomass implementation, I+D alternatives for decarbonization and barriers to overcome.
