What's the best way to Net Zero?

In this episode of Ecotextile Talks, host Philip Berman explores the pathway to net zero in the textile industry with Pauline Op de Beeck, Climate Portfolio Director at the Apparel Impact Institute, and wet processing expert and Ecotextile News contributor Phil Patterson

They discuss the newly released: "Low Carbon Thermal Energy Roadmap" which provides guidance on how the textile industry can reach net zero by 2040, with a particular focus on electrification and renewable energy adoption in major textile manufacturing countries.

Key Topics Discussed

> The thermal energy challenge in textile manufacturing, where 80% of energy consumption is thermal energy primarily generated by burning fossil fuels

>The importance of electrification as the ultimate path to net zero, with proper timing being crucial

>Analysis of five key textile producing countries: China, India, Vietnam, Bangladesh, and Indonesia

>Forecasting when facilities should transition to electric technologies based on renewable energy availability and cost

>The dangers of premature electrification before renewable energy is sufficiently available

>The new industry benchmarking tool being developed to help brands and manufacturers track energy uses and emissions.
