Industrial Decarbonization Systems (IDS) are purpose-engineered solutions designed to reduce measurable carbon emissions from manufacturing and processing operations across the full scope of direct and indirect emission sources. Industrial decarbonization is distinct from general energy efficiency improvement in that it specifically targets carbon output not just energy cost and applies a structured combination of measures including fossil fuel displacement, process electrification, waste heat utilisation, and where necessary, carbon capture and storage or utilisation (CCSU). Kerone’s IDS offering addresses the practical reality that industrial decarbonization is a multi-year, multi-measure process that requires both an accurate baseline understanding and a sequenced implementation roadmap aligned with available technology and investment capacity.
Why Choose Kerone Industrial Decarbonization Systems
Developing an industrial decarbonization program requires the ability to audit existing emission sources, evaluate technically viable reduction measures, model their combined impact against a decarbonization target, and implement those measures in a sequence that maintains production continuity. Kerone brings this full-spectrum engineering and project management capability to IDS engagements. Rather than selling a single product as a decarbonization solution, Kerone develops a tailored measure portfolio for each client, combining efficiency improvements, renewable fuel systems, waste heat recovery, and emission control equipment and delivers it as a managed program with defined milestones and measurable outcomes.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Energy efficiency reduces the amount of energy used to produce a unit of output. Decarbonization specifically targets the carbon intensity of energy use replacing high-carbon fuels with low-carbon alternatives, capturing emissions, or eliminating emission sources regardless of energy quantum. The two objectives overlap but are not identical; a facility can improve energy efficiency while maintaining or increasing carbon intensity if it switches to a more carbon-intensive fuel.
Kerone conducts a process energy and emission audit covering all combustion and process emission sources, fuel types and volumes, process temperature and efficiency profiles, and waste heat availability. From this data, a baseline specific carbon intensity is calculated expressed as kg CO2 per tonne of product or per unit of heat delivered which serves as the reference for measuring decarbonization progress.
A decarbonization roadmap is a sequenced implementation plan that identifies which emission reduction measures will be implemented, in what order, at what cost, and with what projected carbon impact. It aligns decarbonization ambition with practical investment capacity and production continuity requirements, preventing disorganised or premature measure implementation that wastes capital or disrupts operations.
Yes. Kerone's IDS carbon performance documentation is aligned with GHG Protocol Scope 1 reporting and can be structured to demonstrate progress against Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) commitments. The decarbonization roadmap is designed to deliver the required emission reduction trajectory over the commitment period.
Scope 1 covers direct emissions from combustion and process sources within the facility. Scope 2 covers indirect emissions from purchased electricity and heat. Scope 3 covers supply chain and product lifecycle emissions. Kerone's IDS systems primarily target Scope 1 emissions through process improvements and fuel switching, with Scope 2 reductions achieved through renewable power integration.
A typical Kerone IDS program combines multiple measures: combustion efficiency improvement, waste heat recovery, fossil fuel substitution with biomass syngas or biogas, process electrification where economically viable, AISP-driven continuous optimisation, and for high-concentration CO2 sources, carbon capture integration. The specific mix depends on the facility's emission profile and decarbonization target.
For high-concentration CO2 sources such as lime kiln calcination off-gases or biomass combustion flue gases, Kerone can integrate post-combustion CO2 absorption or oxyfuel combustion modules as part of an IDS program. CCS infrastructure for long-term geological storage is not within Kerone's direct scope but is coordinated with appropriate CCS project developers.
Kerone plans IDS implementation in phases that are sequenced around planned maintenance shutdowns, production schedule gaps, and modular equipment designs that minimise parallel operation of old and new systems. This approach significantly reduces the production disruption risk associated with major thermal system changes.
Kerone provides a carbon emission baseline report, technology options assessment, implementation progress reports at defined project milestones, and post-implementation carbon performance verification data. These documents are structured for use in GHG Protocol reporting, sustainability reports, and ESG investor disclosure frameworks.
AISP is deployed as a continuous performance maintenance layer within the IDS program. After capital-intensive decarbonization measures such as fuel conversion or heat recovery are implemented, AISP ensures that these systems are operated at optimal settings continuously, preventing the performance degradation that commonly occurs when newly installed efficient systems are operated sub-optimally due to manual control limitations.
Hard-to-abate sectors including cement, steel, chemicals, and ceramics face the greatest decarbonization pressure because their processes involve high-temperature heat and process emissions that cannot easily be eliminated through electrification. These sectors are the primary target market for Kerone's IDS programs.
Yes. Kerone's IDS methodology is scalable to facility size. For smaller manufacturers, the audit and roadmap scope is right-sized to the emission profile and investment capacity. The measure portfolio is designed within realistic budget constraints, often starting with low-capital efficiency improvements before progressing to larger fuel switching or heat recovery investments.
India's Perform, Achieve and Trade (PAT) scheme creates tradeable energy savings certificates for industrial energy reduction. The Bureau of Energy Efficiency's industrial programs, state-level renewable energy policies, and emerging carbon market mechanisms all provide financial incentives for industrial decarbonization measures. Kerone provides guidance on applicable incentive frameworks during IDS program development.
Industrial Decarbonization Systems (IDS) program success is measured against the baseline carbon intensity established in the initial audit. Progress metrics include actual specific energy consumption, fuel mix verified by purchase records and combustion monitoring, and stack emission monitoring data. Annual performance reviews compare measured outcomes against roadmap projections.
Yes. Kerone's IDS carbon performance documentation — baseline, roadmap, and measured outcomes — provides the project-level data required by green bond issuers and sustainability-linked loan providers to verify that financed activities meet their environmental eligibility criteria. Kerone can assist with the documentation preparation required for these financing structures.
