Market, technology, and application potentials of high-temperature heat pumps

Описание: Industrial emissions in Europe remain persistently high. With climate deadlines looming, high-temperature heat pumps can play a vital role in meeting decarbonisation goals.

High-temperature heat pumps using renewable electricity have the potential to replace fossil fuels and enhance energy and resource efficiency, significantly reducing industry’s CO2 footprint. This technology offers a promising future as efficient heat transformers for heating and cooling applications, especially for waste heat utilisation and recovery.

Despite steady growth in the range of these high-temperature heat pumps, however, lack of clear information about capabilities, design, control, integration and suitable applications is hindering broad implementation.

On 4 December 2024, we welcomed Dr. Cordin Arpagaus, Senior Research Engineer at the OST – Eastern Switzerland University of Applied Sciences, Institute for Energy Systems IES, to provide:

A market overview of high-temperature heat pump suppliers
Insight into the limitations and state of current technology
Potential applications for steam generation
Three key recommendations for broader market adoption of high-temperature heat pumps
