On 19 June 2026, EXQUISHEAT will present in the webinar “Sustainable heating and cooling solutions for industrial and societal needs”, organised by the 2cool2waste projects cluster in the framework of the European Sustainable Energy Week (EUSEW).
The webinar brought together eight Horizon Europe and LIFE projects working on energy efficiency, industrial decarbonisation and net-zero technologies, with the objective of providing a comprehensive overview of innovative heating and cooling solutions for both industrial and societal applications.
Structured around four thematic panels, the event explored a broad range of topics, including energy-efficient cooling, heat pumps, energy system integration and industrial electrification:
- Cooling without wasting energy: can heat help us cool? – featuring the THERMINATOR and RE-WITCH projects;
- Heat pumps: turning low-temperature heat into useful energy – featuring the GEOSYN and SUSHEAT projects;
- Energy systems working together: buildings, grids and flexibility – featuring the SEEDS EU and SENERGY NETS projects;
- Decarbonising industrial processes: from fossil fuels to clean industrial heat – featuring the EXQUISHEAT and EEETHOS projects.
During the industrial decarbonisation panel, EXQUISHEAT was represented by dr. jakob energy research GmbH & Co. KG, who presented the project’s work on accelerating the deployment of industrial heat pumps in the food and beverage sector.
The discussion highlighted the potential of industrial heat pumps to support the decarbonisation of process heat, improve energy efficiency and enable the recovery and upgrading of waste heat streams in industrial applications.
The webinar also provided an opportunity to exchange experiences with other EU-funded initiatives and to discuss common challenges and opportunities related to the deployment of sustainable heating and cooling technologies across Europe.
EXQUISHEAT is pleased to contribute to these discussions and to collaborate with other projects working towards a more efficient, competitive and climate-neutral European industry.
