Study 39 – Integration of heat pump technology in industry – Part 3

In 2021, ALLICE carried out an initial technical study on very high-temperature heat pumps (VHT heat pumps) for industry. This study provides an overview of the current state of the art in existing solutions and analyses in detail three heat pump technologies considered particularly relevant to the industrial sector. To build on this analysis, ALLICE launched three new studies in 2024 aimed at identifying the barriers and drivers to the deployment of these technologies.

The third study complements the other two by identifying the key factors (barriers, constraints and drivers) influencing the deployment of heat pumps at industrial sites, from technical, practical, economic and regulatory perspectives.

In particular, a modelling tool has been developed to illustrate the study’s findings, highlighting the impact of various parameters on the performance of heat pump projects. This tool helps to anticipate favourable or unfavourable configurations based on technical and economic criteria, and is made available to members.
