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.

Refrigerants with a future: Mastering the F-Gas Regulation sustainably thanks to ENGIE Refrigeration

By 2030, the European Union aims to reduce emissions of fluorinated greenhouse gases by 70 million tonnes of CO2 equivalent to 35 million tonnes of CO2 equivalent compared to 1990. The F-Gas Regulation makes a key contribution to this by incentivising the use of alternative refrigerants and requiring those responsible to develop new strategies for the cooling and heating supply of tomorrow. Jörn Stiegelmeier, Head of Technology and Development at ENGIE Refrigeration, knows the legal situation very well, not least through his association work at the Bundesindustrieverband Technische Gebäudeausrüstung e. V. (BTGA), and points out future-proof perspectives.

Ammonia for refrigeration systems: Potential and risks

Climate protection is currently at the heart of numerous political measures. These include the F-gas Regulation, which came into effect on 1 January 2015 and is designed to minimise the use of gases that are harmful to the environment. Consequently, the refrigeration and climate control industry is seeking out natural refrigerants that can provide an environmentally friendly alternative to refrigerants with a high GWP value (Global Warming Potential). Ammonia is such a natural refrigerant.

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.
