More than 60% of industry’s energy use goes on heat.
Industrial heat pumps can help decarbonise low temperature heat supply within industries by using renewable energy and waste heat recovery.
With today’s technology, industrial heat pumps can provide about 10% of total final energy demand of industry – around 2,000 TWh.
Industrial heat pumps use renewable energy from air, water, sewage and ground, exhaust air from buildings (hospitals, hotels, offices) or waste heat from processes and infrastructure.
They provide temperatures of up to 180-200°C, replacing oil and gas!
They are already being used in industries like paper and pulp, wood, dairy, fruits, vegetables, paint, food, textiles. See our infographic explainer.
To explore more, EHPA is running a series of webinars on how end user sectors can replace fossil fuels for process heat with large heat pumps. The series, Heat BIG, is supported by Turboden.
The European Heat Pump Association supports the widespread roll-out of industrial heat pumps.
