Case Study 1 — Industrial Heat

Decarbonising One of Industry's Biggest Challenges

Industrial Furnace Workers

The Challenge

Industrial heat is one of the largest and most difficult sectors of the global energy transition.

​

Across the world, manufacturers rely on natural gas to produce the heat needed for production. As energy prices rise, carbon regulations tighten, and electricity grids become increasingly constrained, businesses face growing pressure to find a practical alternative.

The Numbers

  • ~20% of global CO₂ emissions are generated by industry.

  • Around two-thirds of industrial energy demand is for heat.

  • Over 70% of industrial heat is still produced using fossil fuels.

  • Industrial heat below 250°C represents the majority of industrial process heat demand.

  • Grid reinforcement for large industrial sites can cost millions and often takes years.

  • Manufacturers remain exposed to volatile gas and electricity prices.

Why Existing Solutions Fall Short

Direct electrification often requires expensive grid upgrades.


Heat pumps become less practical as temperatures increase.


Hydrogen requires entirely new infrastructure.


Batteries store electricity but do not solve industrial heat.

iQ-LOOP's Solution

iQ-LOOP captures low-cost renewable electricity, converts it into reusable aluminium energy inventory and transports it wherever heat is required.


CREATE converts that energy into controllable process heat.


The aluminium is regenerated and reused continuously.

Example Reference Project

  • 2 MW industrial process heat installation.

Modelled Impact

  • 2 MW thermal output

  • 10 GWh fossil fuel displaced annually

  • ~1,800 tonnes CO₂ avoided

  • ~1,400 tonnes aluminium recycled

  • Reduced gas dependence and grid reinforcement

  • Long-term fixed energy pricing

  • Target 10–20% lower energy costs

Why Now?

Industrial heat is one of the world's largest untapped decarbonisation opportunities, and the pressure from regulators, investors and customers to act is only increasing.

Vision for the Future
