Honeywell Launches Hybrid Heating Solution to Slash Industrial Carbon Emissions
Honeywell has unveiled its Hybrid Heating Solution, an automated industrial heating technology that combines natural gas and electric power to reduce carbon emissions, optimise energy costs, and support manufacturers on a practical path toward decarbonisation without disrupting operations.
Hybrid Heating Solution provides manufacturers with automated combustion alternative to support operational efficiency and reliability
Honeywell has introduced its Hybrid Heating Solution, a flexible, automated technology designed to help industrial manufacturers lower operating costs and carbon emissions. This innovative system integrates both traditional natural gas and electric energy sources for high-demand industrial process heating.
Automating the Energy Transition in Manufacturing
By automating heating controls, manufacturers can switch energy sources in real time from natural gas to electricity. This capability allows for optimised energy costs and reduces a facility's reliance on a single fuel source.
Honeywell’s Hybrid Heating Solution is designed for seamless integration with existing infrastructure and can deliver up to 30% electric heating capacity at any given time. Beyond fuel switching, the platform provides predictive diagnostics and remote monitoring, offering precise operational visibility for sectors including automotive, building materials, and food and beverage.
Meeting Global Decarbonisation Goals
“Hybrid solutions offer a practical way for energy-intensive industrial manufacturers to not only alleviate strain off the grid, but also to help advance the energy transition at a global scale,” said John Villali, Senior Research Director at IDC Energy Insights. “As companies work to curb emissions and reliance on fossil fuels, their supply chains can play a critical role to help meet decarbonisation goals by leveraging electrical power, including renewable sources.”
A Realistic Path to Emissions Reduction
“Today’s manufacturing landscape is increasingly challenged by rising energy costs and the need to cut back on fossil fuel usage while increasing productivity,” said Tim Lee, President of Honeywell Thermal Solutions. “By merging traditional and electrical energy, including renewables, Honeywell is addressing industry challenges by offering a flexible and realistic path to emissions reduction for companies that require energy-intensive heat in their manufacturing processes.”
In facilities where manufacturers utilize onsite wind, solar, or battery energy storage, operators can leverage those renewables to further lower the carbon footprint of their heating operations.
Honeywell’s Hybrid Heating Solution is commercially available now and is in active production across various manufacturing verticals following a series of successful pilots.
