In recent months, the world’s three top producers — Europe’s ArcelorMittal, China’s Baowu Steel, and Japan’s Nippon Steel — committed to achieving net-zero emissions by 2050, echoing targets set in their home countries. Companies are piloting systems across Europe that use hydrogen in furnaces in lieu of coal.

The second most important target for green power is replacing fossil fuel use in buildings, especially growing use of natural gas for heating; in Vancouver, British Columbia, that causes nearly 60% of the city’s carbon pollution. Electric heat pumps can replace furnaces and, despite their name, they can actually heat and cool.

greenhouse gas emissions come from industry. To achieve net-zero economy-wide emissions by 2050 and limit global warming, industrial emissions must drop while still meeting societal needs. For example, continuous cooling of plastics during injection molding can be precisely controlled using heat pumps.

Depending on where you are, somewhere between 30% to 70% of primary energy is spent on heating and cooling. This presents a massive decarbonization opportunity, one reason why geothermal heating and cooling is growing and will continue to grow rapidly. By 2050, I think we will see further growth—another order of magnitude.

And Oregon’s goals — a 45 percent emissions cut from 1990 levels by 2035 and an 80 percent cut by 2050 — are well short of Washington’s and British Columbia’s targets and what climate scientists advise.
