'''Institute for Industrial Decarbonization through Electrification of Process Heating (EPIXC)''' is designed to spearhead the shift from fossil fuel-based process heating to electric alternatives in various industrial sectors. It aims to decrease greenhouse gas emissions while enhancing the competitiveness of U.S. manufacturing.<ref name="EPIXCmission" /> {{Official URL (simple)|url=https://epixc.org}} ==Mission== EPIXC's mission is to drive industrial decarbonization by developing and demonstrating electrified heating technologies that can replace traditional fossil fuel systems. This initiative seeks to accelerate the adoption of these technologies across industries like iron and steel, chemicals, and cement, aiming for cost-effective, energy-efficient solutions that support U.S. manufacturing competitiveness in a decarbonized economy.<ref name="EPIXCmission" /> ==Parent organization== EPIXC is part of the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE), specifically under the Industrial Efficiency and Decarbonization Office (IEDO), which supports its efforts to transform industrial processes.<ref name="EPIXCparent" /> ==Legislation== EPIXC was established through a DOE funding opportunity rather than specific legislation, aligning with the broader Industrial Heat Shot initiative aimed at reducing industrial emissions.<ref name="EPIXClegislation">U.S. Department of Energy.
