Kirshbaum and Blaine Collison - David Gardiner and AssociatesIndustrial Electrification in U.S. StatesAn industrial subsector and state-level techno-economic analysis February 2023 1Industrial Electrification in U.S. StatesForeword by the authorsThis report is a follow-up study to our previous report, “Electrifying U.S. Industry: A Technology- and Process-Based Approach to Decarbonization.” In the previous report, we studied the electrification potential for U.S. industry across 12 sub-sectors at the national level. In this report, we analyze the electrification potential for the same 12 sub-sectors, but at the state level, focusing on 20 states. The differences in industries, energy prices, and electricity grid emissions factors across different states are considered in this study to determine the electrification potential.
