9月21日，日内瓦 – A 新报告 from the 正规博彩十大网站(WBCSD) 和 挪威船级社, 一家领先的脱碳咨询公司, calls on companies to move their manufacturing operations away from fossil fuels toward electrification by seizing the opportunity provided by heat pumps.
This report highlights market developments 和 policy trends that signal an increasingly compelling business case for heat pumps. It shows business leaders how to select markets ready for heat pump deployment 和 key actions to help companies scale up industrial heat pump installations profitably – from combining heating 和 cooling to leveraging innovative financing mechanisms.
Decarbonization of industrial heat through electrification is key to tackling the climate crisis. 用来运行工业过程的热量 占全球能源需求的29%，温室气体排放量的15%. At a time of geopolitical instability 和 a steep rise in gas prices caused by the war in Ukraine, there is a growing urgency to move away from fossil fuel consumption 和 a great opportunity to electrify heat 和 reduce exposure to volatile natural gas prices.
Heat pumps are the only heating technology with potential thermal efficiencies above 100%, 这意味着它们可以显著减少能源消耗, operational costs 和 emissions – 和 provide circular solutions so that one company’s waste heat can support another company’s heat needs. 市售热泵, which are currently limited to heat supply of up to 200°C 和 因此 primarily used within light industry, 能满足目前37%的工业供热需求吗.
加强热泵商业案例的关键行动
The report addresses how low uptake of heat pump technology can be resolved through the following approaches:
- Use scenarios for future utility 和 carbon prices to underst和 the lifetime costs of all options 和 the policy 和 market risks associated with fossil fuel-based heat;
- Seek opportunities to couple heating 和 cooling applications within or outside the business 和 leverage existing waste heat streams;
- Pursue opportunities to make use of variable electricity tariffs 和 potential revenue generation opportunities by providing grid-balancing services;
- 采用其他商业模式和融资机制，例如 供热即服务;
- Seize opportunities to minimize disruptions 和 capital costs by installing heat pumps during planned outages 和 at sites with no or limited additional grid connection costs.
“The electrification of heat is critical to decarbonize industrial manufacturing operations: Heat pumps are one of the few commercially available 和 commercially viable solutions that can be implemented at scale this decade.” 玛丽安娜·海因里希，WBCSD能源总监
“甚至在最近的汽油价格上涨之前, clear market trends were making the business case to employ heat pumps in industrial heating applications ever clearer. Innovation in technology is making heat pumps capable of achieving higher temperature 和, 因此, 适用于更广泛的行业. Innovation in applications is also creating unique business opportunities, through coupling of heat 和 cooling loads internally 和 externally – connecting to other businesses as well as district heating systems.” 挪威船级社首席顾问Marcel Cremers
“Significant emissions reduction opportunities can be realized by replacing gas-fired industrial heating applications with heat pumps. Further energy efficiencies can be leveraged by coupling on-site cooling applications with the heating system through heat pumps.” 特灵科技正规博彩十大网站排名副总裁Scott Tew
“The heat pump will help us to electrify the generation of thermal energy, 以及对低质量的工业废热进行估价. 我们行业的脱碳又向前迈进了一步.” Josep Maria Moragas，达能高级工程项目经理
