From coke to kilowatts: enabling industrial performance through electrification

As industrial decarbonisation accelerates, foundries face the dual challenge of maintaining competitiveness while replacing carbon-intensive processes. This project explores the electrification of a cupola furnace through induction ovens and flexible energy strategies.

Client needs

  • Replace coke-based cupola with a cleaner induction furnace

  • Reach decarbonisation targets without compromising industrial output

  • Ensure cost-effective grid integration and operational flexibility

-88% CO2 emissions
