The electrification of heat is widely available to the Irish industry, and industrial heat pumps are a proven, low-carbon solution for decarbonising heat.
Electrification offers many benefits, including reduced emissions, increased economic efficiency, greater supply security and gains in the electricity market.
Industrial heat pumps are widespread across the EU, and this course will outline how Ireland could utilise this technology to rapidly replace fossil fuels in its industry.
This course will update attendees on the role of industrial heat pumps in decarbonising Ireland’s heat sector and how electrification is a key solution to reducing Ireland’s industry related carbon emissions.
- The potential for industrial electrification.
- The application of Heat Pumps for Irish industry.
- What can be achieved through industrial electrification.
