SUSTAINABLE HEAT
The SUSHEAT project is set to decrease CO2 factory emissions through the design of a new thermal energy storage system that aims to deliver stable, on-demand heat with a full decoupling from any waste heat recovery and renewables availability.
A little-known Europe-wide effort is underway to develop a range of high temperature, industrial heat pumps and novel energy storage systems, that could make significant cuts in the energy use of sectors like food and drink to paper and petrochemicals.
The commissioning of the 400-kilowatt HoegTemp heat pump at the Pelagia Måløy fish processing plant in Norway is progressing as planned.
1.4 million tonnes of fish per year pass through the Pelagia plant in Norway. After being filleted, what is left has to be blasted with high temperatures to turn the skin and bones into a fine, dry powder for animal feed.
Data from the International Energy Agency shows that, in 2022, the industrial sector was responsible for emitting 9 Gt (gigatons) of carbon dioxide (CO2).
Industrial heat: 2024 was the first year on record to go 1.5°C above pre-industrial levels. This piece of information raises alarms in the community
In 2024, solar power accounted for 11% (304 TWh) of EU electricity generation, overtaking coal (10%, 269 TWh) for the first time. This marked a milestone in the EU’s solar energy strategy
At one of Europe’s big fish processing plants, nestled on the coastline of Norway, new energy saving equipment has gone on trial that could play a key role in helping European industry …
From 12-14 Feb 2025, SUSHEAT project partners participated in the RedTES research network workshop, a key event aimed at fostering collaboration and driving innovation within the research community.
From October 24th to 25th, the SUSHEAT consortium gathered in Stockholm for its 3rd General Assembly meeting, hosted by Sweden’s KTH Royal Institute of Technology.
