This carbon challenge is bigger than cars, aviation and shipping combined. The world’s kilns, reactors, chillers and furnaces are powered mostly by fossil fuels. . High-temperature industrial heat, over 932 degrees F, poses a particular challenge because that’s the point at which fuels beyond electricity become the mainstay.
