Watch Video: The shift to high-temperature heat pumps has started – and it won’t stop (2026)
The shift to high-temperature heat pumps is no longer a distant vision but an unstoppable reality. As industries worldwide face mounting pressure to decarbonise process heat, high-temperature heat pumps are emerging as a key technology for electrifying and transforming industrial energy systems.
This video highlights how the rollout of high-temperature heat pumps is gaining momentum, driven by strong engagement from end-users, manufacturers, researchers, and solution providers. It examines what is needed to turn this technical and commercial potential into large-scale reductions in CO2 emissions: collaboration across the value chain, proven and reliable solutions, and clear targets and roadmaps - turning ambition into action.
Bringing together expert voices from across the value chain, this video features Veronika Wilk (AIT), Martin Tukker (JOA), Kenneth Hoffmann (GEA), Elisa Asmelash (IEA), Jozefien Vanbecelaere (EHPA), Thomas Staude (Everllence), and Benjamin Zühlsdorf (Danish Technological Institute).
Through insights from these leading experts, the video sheds light on why the transition is now irreversible, what must change to successfully electrify and decarbonise industrial heat, and why reliability, validation, and clear direction in the next 2–3 years will be decisive.
The video is from the HTHP Symposium 2026 (shown during the closing session), and it offers a forward-looking perspective on how high-temperature heat pumps can accelerate industrial decarbonisation and shape the future of sustainable process heat.
