Why HaaS is cheaper than gas

You don't produce your own water, so why produce your own steam? This is Heat-as-a-Service (HaaS), and here's how it works.

For many industrial companies, decarbonizing process heat still feels like a high-risk decision.

You've been used to dealing with stable energy prices and long-term supply contracts. Those market conditions are shifting, and stability is no longer a given. New technologies bring uncertainty. Large investments demand long-term commitments and are costly upfront. And the consequences of a failed investment - or disrupted operations - are hard to ignore.

On top of that, you're being pushed into unfamiliar territory.

Energy markets are volatile, technical, and fast-moving, and navigating them isn't your core business. You make paper, packaging, pills, food, drinks, and everything in between. Yet now, you're expected to rethink how your process heat is sourced.

So what's the right solution?

Isn't it safer to wait - see what your competitors do, and follow once you know it works? According to Tim de Haas, Chief Commercial Officer at Kyoto Group, the answer is no.
What seems uncertain today could quickly become a strategic advantage.

- What industrial companies need is to de-risk the energy transition, Tim de Haas says.

- Not by waiting, but by letting someone else take on the risks. Navigating energy markets, choosing the right technology - that's not your core business.

Your strength lies in your products, your manufacturing, your markets - the areas you know best.

That's why you need a path forward that's proven, affordable, and low risk.

In this article, you'll get a clear, no-jargon look at how Heat-as-a-Service (HaaS) makes industrial decarbonization possible without the upfront investment or operational headaches.
