Abstract
NEFI has developed the industry demand scenarios outlined here as a visionary guideline for stakeholders in manufacturing industry, for policy makers, and for technology providers. This study presents the results of the three NEFI scenarios conducted for the timeframe 2017 to 2050:
(I) Business as usual (BAU)
(II) Pathway of industry (POI)
(III) Zero emission (ZEM)
Comparing the scenario results indicates the bandwidth of different pathways towards industrial climate neutrality and allows the most important fields of action to be identified. This study elaborates the demand scenarios for Austrian industry, while only including the supply of energy carriers to a limited extent, and where relevant. Therefore, assumptions are made about the development of the electricity sector’s CO2 intensity and the gas grid composition.
