Photo: V-ZUG AG - The Association for the Decarbonization of Industry (AfDI) has set itself the goal of developing rapidly implementable and holistic approaches for CO2 reduction in industrial processes. The focus is on industrial high-temperature applications. Ideas of a global approach with overall negative CO2 emissions are also being pursued. Empa researcher Christian Bach represents Empa as a founding member in the association. Together with AfDI project manager Andreas Bittig, he provides insights into the visionary ideas and their practical implementation. What measures does the association want to take to achieve CO2 reductions in industrial processes? - Andreas Bittig: While many projects and efforts are underway for heating and mobility, the decarbonization of industrial high-temperature processes, which are often based on natural gas, still remains a niche activity.
