Market study on mature Heat Pump technologies - part 1
In 2021, ALLICE carried out an initial technical study on very high-temperature heat pumps (PAC THT) for industry. This state of the art of existing solutions and analyses in detail three heat pump technologies considered to be particularly relevant for the industrial sector. In order to deepen this analysis, ALLICE launched three new studies in 2024 aimed at identifying the obstacles and levers to the deployment of these technologies.
This study corresponds to Part 1: ‘Market study on mature heat pump solutions in industry’. It is followed by a section 2 on the state of the art in heat pumps, and then a a part 3 dedicated to the technological integration of heat pumps for industry.
Despite their benefits in terms of energy and decarbonisation, heat pumps are struggling to be deployed on a large scale in industry. The aim of part 1 of the study is to analyse the conditions necessary for their adoption. In particular, it aims to understanding the current market, identifying the relevant target sectors that could use this technology as a solution to decarbonisation solution, and identifying the levers and business models that could likely to stimulate the deployment of Heat Pumps in industry.
