Industrial Heat Pumps & Heat Management Systems

5th July 2021
10:30 am - 11:30 am BST - London

This webinar will provide insights into the innovative use cases and various applications for heat pump technology from industry leaders, manufacturers of cutting-edge equipment and the most important member associations.

We will be gathering the community to demonstrate how the electrical efficiency of heat pumps can help us to decarbonize and provide an energy efficient shortcut to a sustainable future. Our speakers will also showcase the versatility and wide applicability of heat pump technology by discussing unique applications which are taking place on an industrial scale.
