Industrial Transformation for Decarbonisation: Stakeholder Perspectives on Economic and Systemic Barriers to Electrification

Empirical results from interviews and the literature on industrial decarbonisation support findings on transformation: industrial transformation through electrification is a complex multi-level problem. Companies are facing barriers on many different levels. This underlines the important role that the state has to play in coordinating a policy mix that solves these problems. However, industrial transformation through electrification poses high demands on policy-making. A policy package is needed that addresses a combination of different barriers that the industry is facing: high electricity prices, insufficient infrastructure and unattractive investment conditions among others.
