EXQUISHEAT’s 2nd newsletter is out!

The second edition of the EXQUISHEAT newsletter is now available, bringing together the latest project news, activities and opportunities to get involved.

Over the past months, EXQUISHEAT partners have continued working to accelerate the uptake of industrial heat pumps in the food and beverage sector, combining technical developments with direct engagement with industry.

In this edition, discover the latest progress from the project, including our participation in key European events and exchanges on industrial decarbonisation, as well as ongoing consultations with food and beverage end-users and heat pump technology providers. With several interviews already completed, the project is now starting to analyse the collected insights to better understand industry needs, barriers and opportunities for wider heat pump deployment.

The newsletter also looks ahead to our next HEAT BIG online workshop on 30 September, where real-life experiences from the food and beverage sector will take centre stage. Industrial end-users and experts will share practical heat pump applications, lessons learned and insights into the conditions needed to support wider deployment.

Want to contribute to EXQUISHEAT? Our consultations are still ongoing. Food and beverage companies and heat pump technology providers are invited to share their experience and help shape the project’s work.
