Why did you choose to focus this edition on industry?<\/h2>\n<p><strong>Elodie du Fornel<\/strong>: Industry alone accounts for <strong>a third of global greenhouse gas emissions<\/strong>\u2014about 24% from energy use and 5% from industrial processes themselves. That clearly deserves our attention. We focused on heavy industry, not least petrochemicals, cement, and steel. The report is structured around three main pillars: the molecule, the electron, and acceleration levers.<\/p>\n<h2>Why use the lesser-known term \u201cdefossilization\u201d of industry, instead of \u201cdecarbonization\u201d?<\/h2>\n<p><strong>Jan Mertens<\/strong>: Because we\u2019re not aiming to remove all carbon\u2014we\u2019re aiming to eliminate fossil carbon. The energy transition will still require carbon-based molecules to produce materials like cement. So we need sustainable sources of carbon: biomass, captured CO<sub>2<\/sub>, recycled plastics. We call this \u201csustainable carbon.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>One chapter of the report is dedicated to the \u201crefinery of the future,\u201d showcasing technologies that replace oil- and gas-derived molecules with identical ones made from non-fossil sources. The goal is to <strong>stop adding fossil carbon to the atmosphere<\/strong>. In short, we\u2019re not targeting \u201czero carbon,\u201d but \u201ccarbon neutral.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n            <\/div>\n                    <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div id=\"block_c9038b4fc0fecb0f1f15514fec4b9d7b\"\n     class=\"cp-media-full-screen teq-container relative nj-aura nj-aura--white \">\n    <div class=\"teq-grid  \">\n        <div class=\"col-span-12  lg:px-0 relative\">\n                        <div class=\"teq-grid\">\n                <div class=\"col-span-12\">\n                    <div class=\"media-wrapper relative\">\n\n                                                                                                    \n                                                    <picture class=\"flex\">\n                                <source media=\"(max-width: 767px)\"\n                                        srcset=\"https:\/\/www.engie.com\/app\/uploads\/2026\/02\/Emerging-sustainable-technologies-visuel-1.jpg\"\/>\n                                <source media=\"(min-width: 768px)\"\n                                        srcset=\"https:\/\/www.engie.com\/app\/uploads\/2026\/02\/Emerging-sustainable-technologies-visuel-1.jpg\"\/>\n\n                                <!--TODO AMBRE if zoom ajotuer classe : open-modal-zoom cursor-pointer  -->\n                                <img decoding=\"async\"\n                                        class=\"w-full object-fit-cover\"\n                                        src=\"https:\/\/www.engie.com\/app\/uploads\/2026\/02\/Emerging-sustainable-technologies-visuel-1.jpg\"\n                                        alt=\"\"\n                                \/>\n                            <\/picture>\n                                            <\/div>\n\n                                        <div class=\"transcription hidden\" data-video=\"\"\n                         data-video-webm=\"\">\n                                            <\/div>\n                    <p class=\"relative nj-text--xs italic mt-8 nj-color--tertiary text-end\"\n                       data-trad>\n                        The refinery of the future will replace gas and oil with identical molecules from non-fossil sources.                    <\/p>\n\n                <\/div>\n            <\/div>\n        <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div id=\"block_2b2171259a44ac4dc16ab5f2e954e50e\" class=\"cp-wysiwyg teq-container nj-aura nj-aura--white\">\n    <div class=\"teq-grid \">\n        <div class=\"col-span-6 xl:col-start-2 xl:col-span-10 lg:col-start-1 lg:col-span-12 \">\n                        <div class=\"teq-wysiwyg\">\n                <div data-trad data-trad-html><h2>Today, industry mostly runs on fossil energy. Is it truly possible to replace it?<\/h2>\n<p><strong>Jan Mertens<\/strong>: There are three main levers for achieving carbon neutrality:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Energy efficiency<\/strong>: Doing more with less energy. This is already well underway.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Electrification<\/strong>: Using renewable electricity in industrial processes. Electricity is one of the most mature and cost-effective vectors for integrating renewables (solar, wind, hydro).<\/li>\n<li><strong>Use of defossilized molecules<\/strong>, like green hydrogen or biomethane, which are essential for certain applications.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>For temperatures below 200\u00b0C, high-temperature heat pumps are being developed. These systems can provide heat very efficiently from electricity. Industries like food processing or pulp and paper will likely adopt them and could phase out the use of molecules entirely.<\/p>\n<p>However, we don\u2019t yet know if electricity can be effectively used for higher temperatures.

But biology offers another path: <strong>bacteria can perform transformations at ambient or moderate temperatures<\/strong>. This opens the door to smaller, decentralized, and less costly facilities. Bioconversion is a very promising area.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Elodie du Fornel<\/strong>: Indeed, we illustrate this in the report with the BioCat project, which produces renewable methane from CO<sub>2<\/sub> and hydrogen via biological methanation.

In other words, the solutions already exist\u2014at least at the lab scale. The challenge isn\u2019t to invent them, but to accelerate the deployment of what\u2019s already been discovered.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Elodie du Fornel<\/strong>: The maturity levels, known as TRLs (Technology Readiness Levels), for the technologies in the report generally range from TRL 3 (lab stage) to TRL 7 (prototype). The key challenge is scaling from R&amp;D to industrial deployment. Public authorities have a crucial role to play.<\/p>\n<h2>Plenty of solutions in the report\u2026 What about artificial intelligence? Can it help reduce industrial emissions?<\/h2>\n<p><strong>Elodie du Fornel<\/strong> : Absolutely. AI is a powerful acceleration lever. It automates and optimizes complex processes and enables predictive maintenance, for example. It also supports upskilling and <strong>fosters learning organizations<\/strong>.

We\u2019ll need large amounts of renewable electricity, which means producing it locally. But we\u2019ll also need to import molecules like hydrogen, ammonia, and renewable hydrocarbons. Even to produce renewable electricity domestically, we still rely\u2014and will continue to rely\u2014on many critical materials for manufacturing solar panels, wind turbines, batteries, and electrolyzers. So, we also need to think about how to secure these metals sustainably, keeping the geopolitical context in mind.<\/p>\n<h2>Green hydrogen is costly, hard to transport, and won\u2019t meet all needs. Is it still worth it?<\/h2>\n<p><strong>Jan Mertens<\/strong>: We believe in hydrogen\u2014not just as a final product, but more often as an intermediary. The goal isn\u2019t to burn it for energy. It\u2019s to use it to produce sustainable hydrocarbons: methanol, methane, ethylene, plastics&#8230;<\/p>\n<h2>This report is the result of a major team effort\u2026<\/h2>\n<p><strong>Elodie du Fornel<\/strong>:<strong> <\/strong>Yes, it involved over 30 ENGIE experts: from ENGIE Lab CRIGEN, Laborelec, Cylergie, and the R&amp;I HQ teams.
