energyintensief
Energyintensief is a descriptor used to characterize processes, technologies or sectors that require large amounts of energy relative to the value of the output they produce. The term is common in energy policy, economics and industry analyses. Energy-intensive activities typically involve continuous production, high temperatures or large-scale operations, which result in energy costs that dominate production costs in many cases.
Measuring energy intensity usually involves energy use per unit of economic output (for example, energy consumption
Common energy-intensive sectors include steel, cement, chemicals, aluminum, pulp and paper, and glass. In these industries,
Policy relevance arises in industrial energy efficiency programs, reliability of energy supply and transition planning. When
