KG.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;134233117&quot;:false,&quot;134233118&quot;:false,&quot;335559738&quot;:240,&quot;335559739&quot;:240}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><span data-contrast=\"none\">The message was clear. Decarbonisation is no longer driven by climate targets alone. It is increasingly shaped by energy security concerns and volatile fossil fuel markets. In this context, electrification is emerging as a central strategy, with industrial heat pumps playing a key role.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;134233117&quot;:false,&quot;134233118&quot;:false,&quot;335559738&quot;:240,&quot;335559739&quot;:240}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><span data-contrast=\"none\">By upgrading waste heat and supplying low-carbon process heat, these systems can be integrated across a wide range of food and beverage applications.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;134233117&quot;:false,&quot;134233118&quot;:false,&quot;335559738&quot;:240,&quot;335559739&quot;:240}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><span data-contrast=\"none\">During the webinar, Isabel Osterroth (GEA) presented real-world case studies showing how heat pumps can be successfully integrated into industrial processes.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;134233117&quot;:false,&quot;134233118&quot;:false,&quot;335559738&quot;:240,&quot;335559739&quot;:240}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><span data-contrast=\"none\">One example focused on spray drying in the dairy sector, where a high-temperature heat pump was used to recover and upgrade waste heat. The installation achieved up to 59% CO\u2082 emissions reduction, while maintaining stable production and improving overall efficiency.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;134233117&quot;:false,&quot;134233118&quot;:false,&quot;335559738&quot;:240,&quot;335559739&quot;:240}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><span data-contrast=\"none\">A second case from the brewing sector showed how waste heat from refrigeration systems can be reused to supply process heat at around 90\u00b0C. This approach significantly reduces gas consumption and demonstrates how existing systems can be adapted to support decarbonisation.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;134233117&quot;:false,&quot;134233118&quot;:false,&quot;335559738&quot;:240,&quot;335559739&quot;:240}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><span data-contrast=\"none\">Beyond the technical results, several key lessons emerged. These included the importance of a clear decarbonisation strategy, a holistic understanding of energy use across the site, and careful integration into existing processes.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;134233117&quot;:false,&quot;134233118&quot;:false,&quot;335559738&quot;:240,&quot;335559739&quot;:240}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><span data-contrast=\"none\">These examples confirm that the challenge is no longer whether the technology works, but how to implement it effectively.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;134233117&quot;:false,&quot;134233118&quot;:false,&quot;335559738&quot;:240,&quot;335559739&quot;:240}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><span data-contrast=\"none\">Integrating heat pumps into existing industrial processes requires careful planning, a strong understanding of site-specific conditions, and solutions that fit within tight production timelines. System design, temperature requirements and refrigerant choices all play a critical role.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;134233117&quot;:false,&quot;134233118&quot;:false,&quot;335559738&quot;:240,&quot;335559739&quot;:240}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><span data-contrast=\"none\">At the same time, market conditions will be decisive. Electricity pricing, particularly in relation to gas, and carbon pricing mechanisms such as ETS2 will shape investment decisions. Together, they will determine whether heat pumps are financially attractive compared to gas, and how quickly companies make the switch.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;134233117&quot;:false,&quot;134233118&quot;:false,&quot;335559738&quot;:240,&quot;335559739&quot;:240}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><span data-contrast=\"none\">What is becoming increasingly clear is that companies need a structured approach. A clear roadmap, combined with a holistic view of energy use across the site, is essential to identify where heat pumps can deliver the greatest value.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;134233117&quot;:false,&quot;134233118&quot;:false,&quot;335559738&quot;:240,&quot;335559739&quot;:240}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><span data-contrast=\"none\">This is where the EXQUISHEAT project aims to support industry. By developing implementation guidelines, standardised solutions and fostering collaboration between industry and technology providers, it seeks to reduce complexity and accelerate uptake.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;134233117&quot;:false,&quot;134233118&quot;:false,&quot;335559738&quot;:240,&quot;335559739&quot;:240}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><span data-contrast=\"none\">As the <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/ehpa.org\/news-and-resources\/events\/large-heat-pumps-webinars-take-end-users-from-idea-to-implementation\/\"><span data-contrast=\"none\">Heat BIG webinar series<\/span><\/a><span data-contrast=\"none\"> continues, the focus remains on one goal: turning proven technology into practical, scalable solutions for a low-carbon future.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;134233117&quot;:true,&quot;134233118&quot;:true}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-293a18e elementor-align-center elementor-widget elementor-widget-button\" data-id=\"293a18e\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"button.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-button-wrapper\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<a class=\"elementor-button elementor-button-link elementor-size-sm\" href=\"https:\/\/ehpa.sharepoint.com\/:b:\/s\/TeamDrive\/IQCXlcxcPMibSaaIvD3iBSc7AbAf1cmtNmN9fRjJN2ZR-bg?e=gDy5Rb\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-button-content-wrapper\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-button-text\">Download the slides<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-9b2c29e elementor-align-center elementor-widget elementor-widget-button\" data-id=\"9b2c29e\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"button.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-button-wrapper\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<a class=\"elementor-button elementor-button-link elementor-size-sm\" href=\"https:\/\/ehpa.org\/news-and-resources\/events\/large-heat-pumps-webinars-take-end-users-from-idea-to-implementation\/\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-button-content-wrapper\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-button-text\">Learn more about the Heat BIG webinar series<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Cutting emissions by nearly 60% is no longer a future ambition for the food and drink industry.
