Over 60% of the industry’s energy consumption goes on heating. Increasing the use of renewable energy sources through industrial heat is therefore key to reducing emissions.

These heat pumps serve a wide range of sectors, including food and drink, plastics, textiles, wood products, appliance and machinery manufacturing.

However, despite their short – and long-term benefits, there are several barriers to the widespread adoption of industrial heat pumps.
