  • About heat pumps

    A heat pump is a device that can provide heating, cooling and hot water for residential, commercial and industrial use. Despite the name, all heat pumps can provide both heating and cooling. They work well in nearly all types of climate.

Saving 50% energy in paper industry through heat pumps

Saving 50% energy in paper industry through heat pumps

Mon Feb 6

Share

The paper industry could cut its energy bills in half by using heat pumps, a recent joint paper from EHPA and the paper manufacturing sector association, Cepi, found. This massive energy saving would also be key to decarbonising one of Europe’s energy-intensive sectors. But EU regulators need to speed up incentives for affordable clean energy.

Already today, heat pumps are enabling energy savings for many industries. They provide about 10% of final industrial energy demand in Europe, and help to lower industrial emissions across many sectors. A recent development is that commercially available large heat pumps and steam compressors can now heat up to 200°C, meeting the pulp and paper industry’s needs. The innovation has been encouraged by exchanges between both industries at European level.

A joint working group between members of the European paper and heat pump industries calculated potential energy savings in paper drying of more than 50%, and a joint Cepi-EHPA paper detailing how heat pumps could be integrated into paper mills has now been published.

The paper was discussed at a recent members-only event attended by nearly 80 participants from both sectors. The presentations are available below.

The partnership between EHPA and Cepi tells the story of how collaboration can result in innovation breakthroughs, with real decarbonisation impacts. This is the purpose of Cepi’s Energy Efficiency Solutions Forum (EESF), hosting the joint working group, where front-running companies can exchange and learn from each other’s efforts to implement cutting edge technologies. The format of the EESF is frequently hailed as a model for other industries’ collaborative decarbonisation efforts.

Whether or not heat pumps can be rapidly deployed in paper mills across Europe now depends on the regulatory incentives that national government and EU Institutions can provide for electrifying the sector, which will require large amounts of affordable clean energy to meet the challenges set in the recently announced EU Green Deal Industry Plan.

Thomas Nowak, Secretary General, EHPA said:

“The progressive phase-out of the fossil fuel alternative in industrial applications will be essential to building a business case. It will also be driven by high energy costs and the increasing CO2 price where clean energy clearly offers a beneficial solution.”

Jori Ringman, Director General – Cepi (Confederation of the European Paper Industries) said:

“When Cepi launched the Energy Efficiency Solutions Forum exactly three years ago, heat pumps were investigated but were not yet reaching high enough temperatures. Through the candid collaboration between both sectorial associations, the technology now matches our needs. It will be an important building block in reducing the energy needs in the paper industry.”

“The industry will continue doing its part in reducing energy consumption and heat pumps can play an important role in that. Combined with access to affordable fossil-free energy heat pumps will allow for a full transition towards a decarbonised and circular economy based on bio-products.”
