The IER at the University of Stuttgart is supporting the energy revolution with the 'Future City Lab GWP' [ Picture: geralt / Pixabay] The official go-ahead has been given for the Future City Lab project "Industrial heat pumps" (GWP). This project aims to significantly reduce CO2 emissions in the heating sector. As part of the multi-year project funded by the Federal Ministry of Economics, the "Future City Lab GWP" investigates the potential and conditions of use for industrial heat pumps in Germany's district heating system. Overall funding for the project has been set at 45 million euros. One of the project partners is the Institute of Energy Economics and Rational Energy Use (IER) at the University of Stuttgart; the institute's scientific expertise is being put to use in the fields of system optimization, technical analysis and heating market research - A climate-friendly energy system powered using industrial heat pumps Decarbonizing power generation can prevent CO2 emissions. The use of industrial heat pumps offers a new technology for a climate-friendly power system that is not yet standard in the provision of district heating. Industrial heat pumps can use heat from rivers, lakes, groundwater, or even wastewater and technical processes, and studies have shown that heat pump technology in 2030 will be capable of supplying power for approximately 15 percent of district heating.
