Industrial Electriﬁcation in U.S. States

An industrial subsector and state-level techno-economic analysis

February 2023

Industrial Electriﬁcation in U.S. States

Foreword by the authors

This report is a follow-up study to our previous report, “Electrifying U.S. Industry: A

Technology- and Process-Based Approach to Decarbonization.” In the previous report, we

studied the electriﬁcation potential for U.S. industry across 12 sub-sectors at the national level.

In this report, we analyze the electriﬁcation potential for the same 12 sub-sectors, but at the

state level, focusing on 20 states. The dierences in industries, energy prices, and electricity

grid emissions factors across dierent states are considered in this study to determine the

electriﬁcation potential.

Industrial Electriﬁcation in U.S. States

The United States set an economy-wide target to reduce its net greenhouse gas (GHG)

emissions to 50-52% below 2005 levels by 2030 and set a goal to reach 100% carbon

pollution-free electricity by 2035. Meeting these goals will require a concentrated eort to

develop and deploy clean technologies across sectors. The U.S.’s emissions reduction targets

place a new emphasis on industrial emissions, highlighting the need for commercialization and

deployment of cleaner industrial technologies. Unleashing US$369 billion in climate and clean

energy incentives, the Inﬂation Reduction Act (IRA) provides powerful tailwinds for achieving

these climate change mitigation targets.

The industrial sector accounts for about a quarter of energy use and GHG emissions in the

U.S. While emissions from electricity generation continue to decline, thermal energy needs in

industry, especially for process heating, are a signiﬁcant challenge for climate change

mitigation eorts.

There is a signiﬁcant opportunity to decarbonize the industrial sector by shifting away from

carbon-intensive fossil fuels to clean sources such as electriﬁcation, where low- or zero-car-

bon electricity is used. As can be seen in Figure ES1, electrifying just the processes included in

the study has the potential to realize signiﬁcant emissions reductions throughout the country.

This report is a follow-up study to our previous report, “Electrifying U.S. Industry: A

Technology- and Process-Based Approach to Decarbonization.” In the previous report, we

studied industrial electriﬁcation potential at the national level. In this report, we analyze the

electriﬁcation potential for 12 industries (aluminum casting, pulp and paper, container glass,

ammonia, methanol, recycled plastic, steel, beer, beet sugar, milk powder, wet corn milling,

and soybean oil) in 20 states. The industries with the highest emissions reduction potential in

each state are shown in Figure ES2.
