Electric steam is no longer a marginal alternative but a real option in the plant. Even so, there is still something wrong. A silent flaw that is repeated in project after project and has little to do with technology.

While heat pumps and thermal storage grab headlines, resistive electric boilers have been quietly decarbonizing industrial processes for more than half a century. It's time to talk about them.
For decades, industrial heat has been the neglected sector of the energy transition. While electrification was advancing rapidly in areas such as mobility and power generation, thermal processes – pasteurization, drying, sterilization and steam generation –continued to rely almost exclusively on fossil fuels. Today, that paradigm is changing. Industrial heat accounts for about two-thirds of […]
From February 10 to 14, GICONMES will be present in FIMA Agricultural 2026the reference fair of the agro-industrial sector, held at Feria de Zaragoza. You will find us in Hall 4 – Stand A/72-74, where we will present our most advanced solutions in industrial steam and automation applied to modern agriculture. Disinfection of plant substrate […]
The European dairy industry, responsible for processing more than 150 million tons of raw milk annually, is facing a historic turning point. The traditional reliance on natural gas for steam generation – essential in pasteurization, UHT sterilization and CIP cleaningprocesses –has become a strategic liability due to volatile energy markets and the imminent implementation of […]
In recent months, headlines such as “Europe to ban gas boilers” or “end of gas in new buildings” have been circulating. While these sound alarmist, they reflect something that is indeed happening: a profound regulatory shift in the way we heat buildings in Europe. But – and here comes the part that almost nobody explains […]
The European Union has opened a historic opportunity for industries that want to replace their gas or oil-fired boilers with clean electric solutions. Through the new Innovation Fund – Heat Auction 2025 program, the European Commission will allocate €1 billion in direct grants for projects that electrify process heat and reduce CO₂ emissions in industry. […]
We are delighted to announce that Giconmes will be exhibiting at Hygienalia 2025, the leading trade fair for hygiene, professional cleaning and services for industrial and commercial environments. The event will take place on November 4, 5 and 6, 2025 at IFEMA Madrid, an essential meeting point for manufacturers, distributors, service companies, maintenance managers, facility […]
When we talk about reducing emissions, we usually think of electric cars, renewable energies or recycling. But there is a silent, giant and highly polluting sector that often goes unnoticed: the chemical industry. In Spain, this sector is one of the largest consumers of energy and, at the same time, one of the most difficult […]
