EHPA and Turboden Run 'Heat BIG' Webinar Series on Deploying Large Industrial Heat Pumps

The European Heat Pump Association (EHPA), with support from Turboden, is running a webinar series titled "Heat BIG: implementing industrial and district heating solutions." The series is built around seven EU-funded projects and is designed to take end users from concept to commissioning — covering how the right large heat pump is selected, sourced, financed, installed, and operated in a factory or district-heating system.

Upcoming sessions

18 November 2026 – Industrial challenges and funding opportunities for sustainable heat symbiosis. Part of the EU-funded GREENSPIRE project, this session explores how businesses or groups can share renewable heat assets and waste-heat recovery to cut energy waste, carbon emissions, and costs. Topics include industrial heat needs, renewable-energy integration, practical tools, funding opportunities, and real-world experiences.

Autumn 2026 – Chemicals, pulp & paper: results from large heat-pump demo sites. Further details to be announced.

EHPA is planning additional sessions in the series and invites topic suggestions via jozefien.vanbecelaere@ehpa.org.
