Project Details
Description
The SPIRIT project will implement three full-scale (> 0.7 MWth) demonstrations of heat pump technologies integrated at three different process sites in the paper & pulp and food & beverage sectors with sink temperatures between 135°C and 160°C. The two market segments (paper & pulp and food & beverage) combined cover 63% of the potential high-temperature heat upgrade market1. SPIRIT aims to enable industrial heat pump technology to become the reference (climate neutral/friendly) technology for covering industrial heat demand for temperatures up to 160°C by 2030.
