Vienna, 19 September, 2023 – SUSHEAT project was launched recently with a secured European Union funding of almost €4.7 million from the Horizon Europe/CINEA programme to provide a lab scale, pilot high-temperature thermal heat upgrade solution for industrial processes.
The SUSHEAT solution will harvest and store thermal energy up to 250°C for industry to use on demand. The project’s expected results could speed up solutions for industrial heat using solar, waste and ambient sources working with High-Temperature Heat Pumps (HT-HP) and thermal energy storage tanks.
Energy savings of more than 100 Terawatts per hour in the European market could be achieved, which would mean a deep decarbonisation of industry with less carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions.
