In recent years, there has been a strong, industry-wide focus on decarbonization and emissions reduction, which is driving the adoption of electric kilns and hybrid systems that combine electricity with gas or alternative fuels. For processes where carbon-based fuels remain necessary, technologies such as low-NO_x combustion, regenerative thermal oxidizers, and even carbon capture systems are expected to become standard components.
