The generation of process heat is one of the biggest cost and CO₂ drivers for industry. At the same time, this is where significant efficiency potential lies – and thanks to new funding programs, making the switch has never been as attractive as it is today. We show which grants and funding measures companies in the DACH region and the EU can use now.Continue reading

One step ahead: Takeda relies on industrial heat pumps for steam generation in the AHEAD project
Takeda is one of the world’s leading pharmaceutical companies operating in around 80 countries worldwide. At its Vienna site, Takeda commissioned the Thermbooster™, SPH’s high-temperature heat pump earlier this year. The system not only meets the stringent requirements of biopharmaceutical production but also reduces CO2 emissions at one of Takeda’s largest sites in Vienna by approximately 80 percent.Continue reading
Forging ahead: SPH and Push2Heat pave the way for high-temperature industrial heat pumps
Technological progress starts with someone taking the first step. As a member of the EU-funded research and innovation project Push2Heat, SPH is leading the way: We will soon be commissioning our demonstration plant at a German specialty paper manufacturer. Time for an overview of the project and our plant.Continue reading
Thinking ahead: Future prospects and market potential of high-temperature heat pumps
The decarbonization of industrial production processes is progressing. Political, economic, and technological frameworks already allow us to glimpse the future landscape of industrial process heat generation – an area where high-temperature heat pumps and other power-to-heat technologies will play a crucial role. A forward-looking perspective.Continue reading
Right-size dimensioning: Demand-orientated design of high-temperature heat pumps
"Don’t worry, you grow into it": What may be true for children's clothing is the wrong approach when it comes to generating process steam and heat with high-temperature heat pumps.Continue reading
Overcoming limits: Two-stage temperature lift for high-temperature heat pumps
Two-stage high-temperature heat pumps bridge large temperature differences by bringing low-temperature waste heat from 30-40 °C to high process temperatures, as required in the food, textile or pharmaceutical industries.Continue reading
Full steam ahead: High-temperature heat pumps provide process steam
When we talk about “full steam ahead”, certain industrial sectors take it literally: high-temperature process heat – especially in the form of steam – is essential for manufacturing, processing and refinement of numerous products. Continue reading
High-temperature heat pumps for industry
Cost reduction through energy savings and competitive advantage through sustainability: these are two clear benefits that high-temperature industrial heat pumps provide to the process industry. They are an innovative energy efficiency, cost savings and CO2 reduction solution for many industries.Continue reading
