Heat BIG: theory to practice with large heat pumps

Heat BIG: theory to practice with large heat pumps

04 Nov 2026

18 November – next webinar!

How to use heat pumps in industry?

Large heat pumps can transform industrial process heat – and district heating systems too.

The European Heat Pump Association presents the webinar series ‘Heat BIG: implementing industrial and district heating solutions’, supported by Turboden. 

Experts will take end users from idea to implementation – showing how the right large heat pumps can be selected, sourced, financed, installed and run in their factories or systems.

The webinar series is run with seven EU-funded projects.

Upcoming Heat BIG webinars: 

18 November 2026:

    >  Industrial challenges and funding opportunities for sustainable heat symbiosis

Sharing is caring? Renewable heat assets and waste heat recovery can be shared between businesses or groups, reducing energy waste and lowering carbon emissions and costs.

This webinar will explore how industries can use the model, known as ‘sustainable heat symbiosis’. The webinar will cover industrial heat needs, renewable energy integration, practical tools, funding opportunities and real-world experiences. It is part of the EU-funded GREENSPIRE project.
