Edison Next, BCG study finds low-carbon technologies can cut industrial heat costs by up to 30%

• Edison Next and BCG published a study on November 10, 2026, examining industrial districts’ role in decarbonizing Italian industrial heat.
• Heat accounts for more than 60% of Italian industry’s energy consumption, with fossil fuels supplying over 90%.
• Biomass, geothermal energy and carbon capture could cut heat costs by up to 30% when gas and carbon prices are high.
• These technologies could reduce emissions by more than 200 kilograms of CO₂ per megawatt-hour of heat.
• Industrial districts could lower energy costs through pooled demand and shared infrastructure, making investments viable that would be too costly individually.
