CACOR Live | Paul Martin | Heat in a decarbonized future| 21 Oct 2026

CACOR Members and Associates are invited to the following CACOR Live presentation

Speaker: Paul Martin

Subject:  Heat in a decarbonized future

Time:  21 Oct 2026 13:30 Eastern Time (US and Canada)

Summary:

The notion that we must burn fuels to provide industrial heat is a myth- different from an outright lie because it contains kernels of truth. We’ll discuss how industrial heat can be electrified, what applications need fire rather than heat, and what the real challenges are to industrial heating using electricity.
