Energy demand in industry accounts for approximately 20% of the total energy consumption in Switzerland, which results to 43 TWh in 2014 [1]. The scenario “political measures” of the Swiss Energy Strategy 2050 targets 20% energy reduction for industry until 2035 and 33% until 2050, which reveals an absolute energy reduction of 9 TWh until 2035 and of 14 TWh until 2050 compared to 2014 [2].
