Industrial heat pumps are increasingly recognised as a key technology for the industrial transition, offering significant opportunities to improve energy efficiency and reduce emissions. How can these solutions be successfully implemented in practice?
Join Cefic (European Chemical Industry Council) and EHPA (European Heat Pump Association) this 24 September to explore how industrial heat pumps can become a reality for the chemical industry.
Together, they will examine market opportunities, available EU funding and real-world deployment experiences from across Europe.
Participants will gain practical insights from industry case studies and learn how policy and funding frameworks can help accelerate the adoption of industrial heat pumps.
