Watch video: Commercialisation is underway as market-ready HTHP technologies scale up (2026)
This video highlights how the commercialisation of high-temperature industrial heat pumps is no longer a future ambition, but an active reality. As more market-ready technologies become available, high-temperature heat pumps are moving from one-off demonstrations to scalable, standardised solutions that can be deployed across industries.
Three leading experts explain how key components and next‑generation systems have matured - with a growing variety of proven technologies now tested, validated, and ready for commercial use. These advances are supported by favourable market conditions and substantial subsidies, which together create the basis for hundreds of megawatts - and potentially even gigawatts - of new industrial heat pump capacity in the coming years.
The shift is being driven by standardisation and reproducible designs. As components such as compressors become widely available and integrated into systems from multiple suppliers, it becomes easier to replicate solutions, reduce costs, and roll out high-temperature heat pumps at scale. At the same time, established service networks - often shared with refrigeration technologies - ensure that operation and maintenance can be handled reliably.
In this video, Jozefien Vanbecelaere (EHPA), Martin Tukker (JOA), and Benjamin Zühlsdorf (Danish Technological Institute) share their perspectives.
Through their perspectives, the video underlines why close collaboration with end users is now crucial: adapting industrial processes, building awareness, and integrating heat pumps into real production environments are key to success. It also looks ahead at how the rapidly growing number of commercial technologies will shape the market, influence investment decisions, and determine how many projects can be realised in the next few years.
Filmed in the context of the HTHP Symposium 2026, the video sends a clear message: the sector is ready, the technology is mature, and large-scale deployment of high-temperature industrial heat pumps is underway - driven by standardisation, strong policy support, and a shared commitment to collaborate and scale up.
