Industrial heat pumps to decarbonise Europe’s industry

Industrial heat pumps to decarbonise Europe’s industry

04 Mar 2025

More than 60% of the energy used by European industry is for the provision of heat. Industrial heat pumps can help decarbonise low to medium temperature heat supply within industries by reusing waste heat and generating renewable energy thus replacing oil and gas. Industrial heat pumps are part of a European clean tech sector, ready and deployable today and able to reach temperatures of up to 180-200°C.

Industrial heat pumps use waste heat from processes, exhaust air from buildings and infrastructure or generate renewable energy from ambient sources such as air, water, sewage and ground. They are key to Europe’s energy security, resilience, sovereignty and competitiveness as they displace oil and gas and use local clean electricity instead.
