The Road to Sustainable Industrial Heat: A Roundtable on the Future of Industrial Heat Pumps

22 May 2025
10:00-12:00

This online event is organized within the framework of PUSH2HEAT and SPIRIT, two EU projects funded under the Horizon Europe Program, which aim to foster the adoption of high-temperature heat pumps in the industrial sector. 

The goal of this webinar is to present the findings of a PESTLE analysis conducted within the PUSH2HEAT project, aimed at identifying the barriers and opportunities for industrial heat pumps across Europe and informing strategies and policies that promote their widespread deployment. 

Following the presentation of these findings, speakers from academia and industry, along with policy experts, will share their perspectives on the future of industrial heat pumps and their views on the PESTLE analysis results. 

Thu, 22 May 2025 10:00 – 12:00 CEST

We look forward to having you attend the event!
