08 Feb 2023 --- A joint paper by the European Heat Pump Association (EHPA) and the Confederation of the European Paper Industries (Cepi) outlines how to make heating pumps in the paper industry “greener.” Cepi maintains an Energy Efficiency Solutions Forum to enable exchange and learning between front-running companies to implement greener technologies. Heat pumps today provide about 10% of Europe’s final industrial energy demand and help lower industrial emissions across sectors. Commercially available large heat pumps and steam compressors can heat up to 200°C, which is calculated to have potential energy savings in paper drying of more than 50%.
