NEFI Technology Talk: Steam generation with heat pumps in industry

by Oxana Schmidt

Heat pumps will play an essential role in the decarbonization of industrial processes. Steam-generating heat pumps, which generate steam from waste heat, are of particular interest because they can be easily integrated into existing infrastructure. This Technology Talk offers an overview of the technology, how it works and possible uses, as well as current insights into ongoing projects.

NEFI Technology Talk: Towards a Sustainable Automotive Industry

by Oxana Schmidt

NEFI focuses on the development and demonstration of key technologies ‘Made in Austria’ for the decarbonisation of the industrial energy system. The automotive sector is a pillar of the Austrian industrial landscape in which a high degree of process and product diversity certainly opens up hurdles in the development and implementation of decarbonisation technologies. As part of this Technology Talk, we are tackling this complexity by bringing together national and international players from the industry and jointly designing new developments and projects that will bring the sector closer to achieving climate targets.

Heat Highway: Using decarbonised heat sources via supra-regional heat networks. Workshop organised in the context of the NEFI project Heat Highway

by Oxana Schmidt

The use of industrial waste heat is essential for the decarbonisation of heat supply. Interregional heat transmission networks connect urban consumption centres and waste-heat-intensive industrial sites and, in doing so, traverse areas with further heat sources and sinks.
