Manufacturing, drying, cooking and chilling processes, buildings like hospitals and offices, and infrastructure give off excess heat. However, this heat can be captured and reused by heat pumps, especially in industries like food and drinks, paper and pulp and chemicals. This can lower energy costs, improve energy security, and boost competitiveness by reducing reliance on expensive fossil fuels.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-left\">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\u00b0C, providing about 10% of industry\u2019s total final energy demand \u2013 around 2,000 TWh.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-left\">At this event, we\u2019ll explore how waste heat is already being used across Europe, the positive impact it\u2019s having, and what steps are needed to make waste heat recovery more common. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-left\">Join us for this exclusive breakfast debate!<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>EVENTS DETAILS<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Date:<\/strong>&nbsp;29 January 2025<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Time:<\/strong>&nbsp;08:00 &#8211; 09:30 (Please arrive by 07:45 for a prompt start)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Venue:<\/strong>&nbsp;European Parliament, MEP Salon<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>AGENDA<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>08:00<\/strong> &#8211;<strong>&nbsp;Welcoming speech<\/strong>, Mr. Sean Kelly MEP<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>08:10 &#8211;<\/strong>&nbsp;<strong>Presentation&nbsp;on competitive applications<\/strong>, Mr. Paul Kenny, Director General, EHPA<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>08:25 &#8211;&nbsp;Discussion&nbsp;&#8220;Opportunities and barriers for energy security and industrial competitiveness&#8221;<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Mr. Rossen Ivanov<\/strong>, Managing Director, Armstrong INT<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Mr. Jeroen Koot<\/strong>, Chief Executive Officer, Heaten AS<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Mr. Jan Eric Thorsen<\/strong>, Director, Hydronic Control Solutions, Danfoss<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Mr. Valerio Forconi<\/strong>, Director, Government Relations and Public Policy, Trane Technologies<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Mrs. Paula Rey Garcia<\/strong>, Deputy Head of Unit for Renewables and Energy System Integration Policy, DG Energy, European Commission<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>09:10 &#8211;&nbsp;09:30 &#8211; Questions &amp; answers<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Heat is lost into the air every day.
