Abstract
The 3rd High-Temperature Heat Pump Symposium was held in Copenhagen 29-30 March 2022. For the first time, it was a two day event, full of exciting presentations and posters as well as plenty of time for networking and good discussions.
High-temperature heat pumps have become more relevant than ever. The ambitions towards sustainability are increasing, while decarbonization by electrification and energy efficiency are governing topics. We can observe that the huge potentials for high-temperature heat pumps are recognized by process industries as an integral part of their strategy to reduce CO2 emissions and that more and more technology providers are developing heat pump technologies capable of temperatures well above 100 °C. In turn, we can also observe challenges for both sides to work with an emerging technology. The application potential in industries is strongly dependent on their willingness to adapt to heat pump-based process heating, while such strategic decisions require a clear picture of the potential of the technology. In turn, technology providers need a clear market perspective to justify the development of high-temperature heat pump technologies.
This context, especially when considering the urgency in the transition towards green process heating, makes it obvious that efficient communication between technology providers, process industries, consultants, energy-planners, policy makers, R&D institutions, and many more is key to enabling a successful exploitation of the great potential of high-temperature heat pumps.
With this Symposium, we hope to have contributed to the facilitation of this urgently needed knowledge exchange; accelerating the journey towards more heat pumps in real installations to make an impact towards increasing sustainability. We are, therefore, happy that it was possible to gather more than 200 participants for this year’s symposium. We also acknowledge the sponsors of the event for their significant contributions.
