Summary: This research theme focuses on the electrification of process heating to improve energy productivity and provide a decarbonisation pathway for Australian businesses. The theme categorises process heating opportunities in terms of temperature of product or service delivered (not the temperature at which existing systems supply heat): 1. Low temperature (below 150°C) 2. Medium temperatures (150°C - 300°C) 3. High temperature (above 300°C) We expect this research theme to focus initially on services requiring heat in the 100-150°C temperature range.
