SUSHEAT – driving industrial heat decarbonisation
Enlit World - Industrial heat remains the silent giant of Europe’s energy system. Roughly half of industrial final energy is used as heat – and much of it is still produced by fossil fuels or lost as low grade waste.
SUSHEAT targets this underused resource by upgrading, storing and distributing heat so factories can meet process temperatures reliably while reducing their carbon footprint.
Europe’s path to climate neutrality by 2050 elevates industrial heat decarbonisation to a strategic technology. Policies under the European Green Deal and the European Climate Law anchor the 2050 neutrality goal and set a steeper 2030 trajectory, increasing the value of solutions that reduce fuel consumption, lower exposure to carbon pricing and enable electrification.
