Session title: Decarbonization and efficiency in hard-to-abate sectors
Location: Decarbonisation Hub (Hall 3)
Speaker:
José Miguel Macho, Director of Business Development, Hydrogen & Power-to-X applications South West Europe, Siemens Energy
Topic: Customer-centric innovation is unlocking affordable decarbonization for hard-to-abate industries where new solutions are urgently needed to tackle emissions from heat and fuels, not just electricity.
In hard-to-abate industries, emissions from heat and fuels remain largely unaddressed. José Miguel Macho will explore how electrification of industrial heat, fuel switching to hydrogen, e-methane and ammonia, and carbon capture technologies are reshaping sectors like steel, cement, chemicals, mining, and oil and gas. He will also highlight the importance of SF6 free transmission and roadmaps that help transform ambition into action.
