Widening the Lens on Innovation for Clean Manufacturing: Greening High-Temperature Manufacturing: Toward an RD&D Agenda

Greening High-Temperature Manufacturing: Toward an RD&D Agenda Workshop

ITIF co-hosted a series of four expert workshops with Boston University Institute for Sustainable Energy and Fraunhofer USA’s Center for Manufacturing Innovation. This workshop focused mainly on the production of iron, steel, cement, and glass, specifically considering whether to shift production to an all-electric system or whether to use synthetic fuels, as well as using alternative materials that can provide equivalent functionality in a more cost and energy-efficient manner.
