Pushing forward the market potential and business models of waste heat valorisation by full-scale demonstration of next-gen heat upgrade technologies in various industrial contexts.

Descripción del proyecto

Tecnologías de mejora del calor residual en acción

El calor de proceso consume grandes cantidades de energía. Por ello, es necesario que el sector industrial recupere el calor residual a fin de cumplir con los objetivos de descarbonización. Si bien esto está en consonancia con las prioridades del Pacto Verde Europeo para aumentar la eficiencia energética industrial, existe una combinación de barreras técnicas y no técnicas que deben superarse. El equipo del proyecto PUSH2HEAT, financiado con fondos europeos, probará diferentes tecnologías de mejora del calor en instalaciones industriales de demostración seleccionadas, que son representativas de los sectores industriales más relevantes, con un alto potencial de recuperación y mejora del calor residual. El proyecto reúne a fabricantes de tecnologías de mejora del calor, usuarios finales industriales, empresas de ingeniería y orientadas a los negocios, investigadores y partes interesadas clave.

Objetivo

As part of the EU strategic agenda to build a climate-neutral and green Europe, increasing energy efficiency of industry is among the priorities of the Green Deal. Process heat has a significant weight in the total energy demand of the European industry and increased energy efficiency of industry through the recovery and upgrade of waste heat is one of the first steps towards decarbonization in the industrial sector.

Although different heat upgrade technologies exist, their wide deployment is not taking place due to different technical and non-technical barriers hindering the uptake. PUSH2HEAT will aim to overcome these implementation barriers and push forward the market potential and business models of heat upgrade technologies by real full scale demonstration of different heat upgrade systems in relevant industrial sectors with high waste heat recovery and upgrading potential, with supply temperature in the range 90-160ºC.

Different heat upgrade technologies will be scaled-up to optimize their efficiency and economic performance and demonstrated in selected industrial demo-sites covering a representative sample of the most relevant industrial processes with heat recovery potential.
Economic and country specific regulatory barriers, summed up to the technical ones, greatly influence the deployment of the heat upgrade technologies. To tackle this, PUSH2HEAT intends to demonstrate suitable busines models and dedicated exploitation roadmaps for a higher penetration of heat upgrade systems aiming to contribute to meet the industry decarbonization targets.

For achieving its ambitions, PUSH2HEAT consortium gathers different heat upgrade technology manufacturers, industrial end-users where demonstrations will take place, engineering and business oriented companies as well as expert RTD partners in the field, together with the European association representing the heat upgrade technologies stakeholders.
