Join us for discussions on the role of industrial heat pumps for Europe’s competitiveness, energy security and decarbonisation targets!
As Europe moves towards its net-zero goals and prepares for initiatives like the Clean Industrial Deal and the Industrial Decarbonisation Accelerator Act, industrial heat pumps and waste heat recovery are emerging as essential technologies. They play a key role in decarbonising European industry, improving energy security, and enhancing competitiveness by enabling the electrification of industrial processes.
This roundtable will bring together experts to share insights and engage in interactive discussions. It will explore policy solutions, address barriers to adoption, and identify opportunities to scale up the use of industrial heat pumps, ensuring they contribute fully to Europe’s clean energy transition.
