Getting Electrification Right: The broader challenge of induced emissions

Getting Electrification Right: The broader challenge of induced emissions

Jun 12, 2025 | Electrification, Hydrogen, Industry

Sandbag’s latest report explores how the climate impact of electricity use depends not just on how it’s generated, but also when and where it’s consumed. Using hydrogen as a case study, the report shows how poorly timed renewable electricity use can unintentionally drive-up fossil fuel emissions — and outlines smarter paths to decarbonisation.

Auction for industrial heat electrification: A positive step, but mind the induced emissions!

Auction for industrial heat electrification: A positive step, but mind the induced emissions!

May 20, 2025 | Climate financing, Electrification, Industry

This position paper analyses the European Commission’s industrial heat auction, highlighting the importance of auction design to ensure electrification reduces emissions without causing unintended increases due to electricity grid dynamics.
