The PUSH2HEAT project aims to advance heat upgrade technologies by addressing technical and non-technical barriers and developing business models for full-scale demonstrations in industrial sectors. Running from October 2022 to September 2026, it focuses on heat supply temperatures of 90-160ºC. The project will develop four key technologies: an upscaled high-temperature heat pump (HTHP) with a piston compressor, a large-scale HTHP with a centrifugal compressor, an upscaled absorption heat transformer, and a thermochemical heat transformer. These will be demonstrated (TRL 7-8) in three operational plants across key industries. PUSH2HEAT also seeks to create business models, assess industrial potential, evaluate environmental and economic impacts, and enhance awareness among stakeholders to drive widespread adoption.

SUSHEAT is a multi-actor project focused on cutting factory CO2 emissions and boosting energy efficiency by recycling industrial waste heat and integrating renewable energy sources. With partners spanning 11 European Union countries, the project’s goal is to develop and validate a heat upgrade system capable of delivering reliable and flexible industrial heat within a temperature range of 150ºC - 250ºC.
SUSHEAT will enhance ENERIN’s industrial High-Temperature Heat Pump (HT-HP) technology to capture waste heat and convert it into temperatures suitable for intensive manufacturing processes. Novel Thermal Energy Storage (TES) will be integrated into the innovative HT-HP system, alongside a Fresnel Solar Thermal Collector to harness and store solar energy. This innovative approach will be optimised using AI-driven energy management.
