Strategien zur Dekarbonisierung von industrieller Prozesswärme (Technology Talk)

The NEFI Technology Talk on "Industrial waste heat recovery with high-temperature heat pumps" on April 3rd, 2024 was a complete success. Around 90 participants came together to discuss the latest developments and challenges in this field. This dynamic online event, moderated by our NEFI expert Veronika Wilk (Thematic Coordinator Efficiency in Industrial Processes and Systems, AIT Austrian Institute of Technology), brought together a diverse and engaged audience. Solutions for utilising industrial waste heat with high-temperature heat pumps were the focus of this NEFI Technology Talk, which aimed to increase participants' knowledge of high-temperature heat pumps. Benjamin Zühlsdorf, Innovation Director at the Danish Technological Institute (DTI), presented strategies for the decarbonisation of industrial process heat and emphasised the need to adapt the framework conditions for the integration of heat pumps. He emphasised that companies should invest now in order to avoid a technological lock-in.
