This online event is organized in the framework of SPIRIT, PUSH2HEAT and SUSHEAT, three EU projects funded under the Horizon Europe Program, which are working to foster the uptake of high-temperature heat pumps in the industrial sector.

The aim of this webinar is to present the challenges but also the solutions that hide behind the integration of industrial heat pumps, not only from the perspective of the technology provider but also from the point of view of the end-user, i.e. all those industries that are “heat-pump ready” and can benefit from the installation of this technology to power their processes.

To this end, after an overview of the most recent policy and technological developments that Europe has witnessed in the field of industrial heat pumps, you will hear one success story of industrial heat pump integration in the experience of the technology manufacturer and the end user.

The webinar comes a few months after the European Commission’s decision to postpone the Heat Pump Action Plan until after the EU elections. Policy support is the vessel through which we can achieve the decarbonisation of the European industry, and a call to action is needed to restate that high-temperature heat pumps are one of the most valid means leading to energy savings and CO2 emissions reduction of the industry.
