Ist Elektrifizierung günstiger als Gas?

Answer

Pro kWh kostet EU-Industriestrom das 2–4-fache von Gas — direkte Widerstandsheizung lohnt sich selten. Die Wirtschaftlichkeit kippt mit WÄRMEPUMPEN: bei COP 3–4 in Niedrigtemperaturanwendungen konkurriert das effektive €/MWh-Wärme mit Gas und senkt zugleich Scope 1 auf Null. Deshalb führen Wärmepumpen, nicht Widerstandsheizung, die industrielle Elektrifizierung unter ~150 °C an.

Inzonex removable modular insulation on industrial equipment

Cut the tonnes at the source

Hot industrial equipment? Cut the heat loss.

Boilers, kilns, heat exchangers, valves and steam lines lose energy continuously. Inzonex makes patented (UK GB2508992.1) removable modular insulation — snap-fastened covers engineered per temperature tier, not generic off-the-shelf jackets:

Up to 96% less heat loss from insulated surfaces
Surface temperature ≤45 °C — touch-safe for workers (EN ISO 13732-1)
6× faster maintenance access than fixed cut-and-weld lagging — unclips and refits in minutes, no destruction
Inspectable — comes off to check for corrosion under insulation, then refits like-new (generic jackets often don't survive removal)
Typical payback up to 2 years

Every tonne you stop emitting is a tonne you don't have to report: cutting heat loss is a measurable, auditable Scope 1 reduction that flows straight into EU ETS, CBAM and your ESG / CSRD disclosures — not an offset, an actual emission cut.
