High-temperature heat pumps and CHP technology as catalysts for decarbonization
Why attend?
INNIO Jenbacher, a global leader in gas engine technology, and HEATEN, a pioneer in industrial heat pumps, join forces to deliver powerful, efficient, and sustainable energy solutions that drive real value for industrial and commercial customers.
With its primary focus on decarbonizing electricity generation, the global energy transition seemingly has often underestimated another significant area—the heating sector. Heat, which mostly is supplied by fossil fuels, accounts for approximately half of the world’s final energy consumption. This reliance on fossil fuels contributes substantially to global greenhouse gas emissions, with the heating sector responsible for a substantial 40% of global carbon emissions.
Despite the rapid growth in renewable installations worldwide, the decarbonization of heat lags significantly. While 33% of global power generation came from renewables in 2024, their share in global heat consumption was only 14%. Moreover, industrial process heat production alone contributed nearly a third of global energy demand and nearly 60% of industrial emissions.
The webinar outlines decarbonization options in the heating sector through the deployment of HTHP (high-temperature heat pumps) in specific application fields in both the industrial and municipal heat supply. A particular focus will be placed on the integration of high-temperature heat pumps and combined heat and power (CHP) systems. This combination is examined both in terms of process-level heat integration of the two technologies utilizing the waste heat of the CHP unit and in the context of their intelligent interaction within a cross-sector energy system.
Key Learning Objective:
- Learn about the role of CHP and HTHP in the decarbonizing heat sector.
- Hear from experts on promising application fields for heat decarbonization with CHP and HTHP.
- See how companies are boosting industrial steam production capacity of CHP with HTHP.
- Discover examples of smart cross-sectional integration of CHP and HTHP.
