Heat Pumps Paving the Way to Net Zero

With increasing focus on energy efficiency and decarbonisation toward Net Zero, heat pump technology stands out for providing both cooling and heating solutions. This session explores the basic principles of heat pump technology, the advantage of heat pump technology over traditional boilers for producing hot water up to 95°C, its use as a heat recovery technology to convert waste heat into useful heating energy, and showcases case studies from Southeast Asia where industrial heat pumps have been implemented and how energy savings, carbon reduction and the payback period of heat pump investment have been evaluated.
