Abstract:
In the 10 years since I founded this magazine, it has grown both in depth and breadth. Electrification has now become synonymous with decarbonization, which is a major tool in addressing climate change. As the society moves away from using fossil fuel for end-use applications, like internal combustion engines, boilers and furnaces for space heating, gas water heating, and gas cooking stoves, etc., electrification becomes the preferred alternative. But heavy electrification comes with its own challenges, which I will discuss in the following.
