Large-scale heat pumps as pioneers for energy transition in industry

Industry faces a double challenge: rising energy costs, high CO₂ taxes and regulatory requirements on one hand, and technically demanding processes on the other. At the same time, two-thirds of industrial energy flows into nothingness as unused waste heat – while fossil fuels are imported at a cost of billions. Andreas Kuhn, Key Account Manager Industrial & Commercial Heating at ENGIE Refrigeration, explains in an interview how large-scale heat pumps can help solve this dilemma and drive forward the energy transition in industry.

CO2 refrigerant: Answers to your questions

CO2 is a natural refrigerant that is especially suitable for efficiently operating hot and cold thermal storage units. And it is exceptionally safe to use. CO2 – with the technical name R-744 – is assigned to safety class A1 because it is neither toxic nor flammable. Jörn Stiegelmeier, head of technology and development at ENGIE Refrigeration, answers common questions about CO2 as a refrigerant.

High Temperature Heat Pumps

CO2 heat pumps use energy from the environment to generate heat. Non-flammable carbon dioxide is an exceptionally eco-friendly refrigerant, so CO2 heat pumps can considerably reduce harmful emissions. CO2 is also an excellent refrigerant because it is not flammable and there is an abundance of it on earth.
