Industrial firms produce all the materials and products we rely on every day, ranging from raw steel and cement to finished buildings, vehicles, and consumer goods. In doing so, the industrial sector consumed 43 percent of the world’s final energy in 2020. To meet ambitious climate goals, nations will need to transition industry to low- or zero-emissions processes.
Energy Innovation has created the Industrial Zero Emissions Calculator (IZEC) for you to test different strategies to reduce industrial emissions and explore their resource requirements. The IZEC is an easy-to-use, customizable tool to assess the demands of different industrial zero emissions strategies. The IZEC incorporates publicly available data to model five regions: the U.S., China, European Union, India, and the world as a whole. You can choose the energy sources used for industrial heat, specify energy and material efficiency improvements, determine methods of forming chemical feedstocks, and more.
Built-in scenarios focus on particular strategies such as direct electrification, green hydrogen, bioenergy, or fossil fuel use with carbon capture and storage (CCS), as well as a mixed scenario. Outputs include non-feedstock and feedstock energy use, electricity demand, hydrogen demand and electrolyzer capacity, bioenergy land use, industrial CO2 emissions, CO2 stored underground from CCS, and the required capacity of zero-carbon electricity sources.
The IZEC is available in two forms, as an Excel tool and in the web browser (below). The simplified browser version showcases the built-in scenarios and summarizes their results, while the Excel tool allows you to customize the exact industrial decarbonization strategies you prefer. Also check out the accompanying IZEC report, which walks through the tool’s capabilities and shares results and insights for the U.S. industrial sector.

This visual interactive feature allows users to explore the major findings of the Coal Cost Crossover 3.0 report. Users can scroll to view a visual case study, interactive maps showing the specific locations of uneconomic coal plants and cheaper new solar or new wind resources, potential cost savings, and investment opportunities.

In recent years, roboticists worldwide have designed various robotic grippers that can pick up and manipulate different types of objects. The grippers that are most effective in tackling real-world manual tasks, particularly complex object manipulation tasks, are often those inspired by human hands.In recent years, roboticists worldwide have designed various robotic grippers that can pick up and manipulate different types of objects.

The European Union’s law on artificial intelligence came into force on 1 August. The new AI Act essentially regulates what artificial intelligence can and cannot do in the EU. A team led by computer science professor Holger Hermanns from Saarland University and law professor Anne Lauber-Rönsberg from Dresden University of Technology has examined how the new legislation impacts the practical work of programmers. The results of their analysis will be published in the autumn.The European Union’s law on artificial intelligence came into force on 1 August.
