The HP4INDUSTRY project aims to decarbonise industrial heating and cooling while maintaining the competitiveness of European industry. It focuses on deploying heat pump–based solutions for low- and medium-temperature industrial processes, , where fossil fuels are still widely used.
By integrating alternative heat sources such as waste heat, solar thermal, and geothermal energy, the project develops efficient and scalable heating and cooling solutions.
HP4INDUSTRY follows a three-phase approach: collecting and analysing industrial data, developing and validating solutions for selected sectors, and replicating and disseminating these solutions across a wider range of industries.
The project specifically targets the food and drink, pulp and paper, and chemicals sectors, offering replicable models to support their transition toward low-carbon industrial process heat.
