Over 60% of the industry’s energy consumption goes on heating. Increasing the use of renewable energy sources through industrial heat is therefore key to reducing emissions.

These heat pumps serve a wide range of sectors, including food and drink, plastics, textiles, wood products, appliance and machinery manufacturing.
