Latest publication (Apr 2026)
The IIR Publishes a Technical Brief on High-Temperature Heat Pumps: A Key Technology for Industrial DecarbonisationMain contents
- HTHPs (heat above 80°C) for industrial decarbonisation: ~37% of global energy use is industrial heating; 100–200°C is a core target band for food, chemical, textile, paper, and plastics processes.
- Three routes—vapor-compression, absorption, and hybrid absorption–compression—with simultaneous heating/cooling and thermal-storage integration.
- Working fluids, compressors, commercial products (about 90–300°C, kW to 100 MW), case studies, and COP >1.5 vs boilers; economics tied to electricity–fuel price ratios and grid carbon intensity.
- Policy levers: performance-based subsidies, demonstrations, carbon pricing, workforce training, and clarity on refrigerant phase-out timelines; includes a two-page Summary for Policymakers.
