It’s the World Environment Day today and the message is clear:

“The foods we eat, the air we breathe, the water we drink and the climate that makes our planet habitable all come from nature. Yet, these are exceptional times in which nature is sending us a message: To care for ourselves we must care for nature. It’s time to wake up. To take notice. To raise our voices. It’s time to build back better for People and Planet. This World Environment Day, it’s Time for Nature.

We all can – and should – contribute to make the world a better place. For Kanthal, our major contribution takes place at our customers. Converting heating processes from gas to electric is what we do. With electric heating, our customers get a cleaner, safer and more energy efficient heating solution than they would with a gas solution. In addition, they emit less carbon dioxide.

When you burn something that contains carbon you get carbon dioxide that you either need to take care of or release into the atmosphere.

With electric heating, you don’t have any exhaust. If the electric power itself is produced in a clean and renewable way, it is a very clean way of heating something

With electric heating, you don’t have any exhaust. If the electric power itself is produced in a clean and renewable way, it is a very clean way of heating something”, says Dilip Chandrasekaran, R&D Manager at Kanthal.

Energy efficiency and financial gains are other advantages:

“With electricity, you need less power to get the same heat output. Most of what you put in, power-wise, will get onto the process. With gas, for example, you have extreme amounts of waste heat, Dilip continues.

Many of our customers around the world already benefit from our electric heating solutions, which support them in their quest for reduced environmental impact. They are thereby being part of the transformation into a more sustainable world. That’s our main contribution.

Celebrate the World Environment Day with us. Together we can act #ForNature
