Important announcement

Dear visitor,

Please note that this OpenCourseWare platform will be replaced at the end of 2026 by a new platform (under the same url ocw.tudelft.nl).

Courses and their contents that are currently available the platform will partly be migrated. URL’s for this content will change and content might be unavailable for some time. In addition, some courses will not be available anymore.

If you are linking to specific courses on this platform (for instance for your students), please take timely measures to avoid problems with access. Possible actions are:

  • Download the materials to your local platform (laptop, server)
  • For educators only (including TU Delft lecturers): Contact us at ocw@tudelft.nl and inform us what course you are using in what context (institute, program, period of use, number of students). We will research (in collaboration with the authors of the course) and decide if we will migrate the course, and if yes, can supply you with a new url.

Thank you.

1.1.1 Introduction to the industrial sector

Course subject(s) 1. Industrial sources of emissions and mitigation options

Welcome to the first video of module 1! In this video, we will consider the contribution of the industry sector on the global GHG emissions and energy use. We will introduce the main mitigation measures available to this sector and finally, we will present our case study, which will be used in later videos of this and next module.

Minor correction: At 3:18 in the video we say the industrial sector is responsible for 35 GT of GHG emissions, this is a mistake, the true value is 15 GT

Key takeaways:

  • The industrial sector provides a significant contribution to global GHG emissions and energy demand
  • There are multiple sources of GHG emissions and different types of emissions in an industrial plant
  • The main mitigation measures available are process integration, electrification, carbon capture and (utilization or) storage, and change of processes and raw materials
