TPS at the NEFI Technology Talk on the Electrification of Industrial Furnaces
On June 2, 2026, the NEFI Technology Talk on the “Electrification of Industrial Furnaces” brought together 45 experts from industry, research, and technology development to discuss current technological approaches, challenges, and future perspectives for the decarbonization of industrial high-temperature processes.
In his presentation “Plasma Burners for the Decarbonization of Industrial Processes,” Werner Wiggen introduced TPS and its technological focus.
The presentation addressed the question of how industrial high-temperature processes can be designed to be CO₂-free in the future. The plasma burner technology developed by TPS enables very high process temperatures and opens up new fields of application in areas where conventional electric heating systems reach their technical limits.
The Technology Talk clearly demonstrated that the electrification of industrial furnaces is a key element in the transformation of energy-intensive industries. At the same time, innovative technologies, high-performance infrastructure, and practical demonstration projects are essential to successfully implement solutions on an industrial scale.
We are looking forward to contributing to the decarbonization of industrial processes with our technology and to actively engage in dialogue with industry, research, and technology partners.
