Costs, and opportunities for efficiencyThe key barrier to electrifying industrial heat is cost, not physics. Grid electricity costs several times more than natural gas — though by precisely how much depends on the country (and the year, since natural gas prices are volatile). However, energy prices do not tell the whole story. It is necessary to consider how efficiently each fuel is converted into heat and how much of that heat can be applied to the material or part being processed.

In 2014, hundreds gathered to watch more than 2,000 trucks pour concrete into a vast hole.
