Session description

Industrial decarbonization is key to achieving global climate neutrality, as over two-thirds of industrial energy consumption is attributed to process heat – still predominantly generated from fossil fuels. At the same time, 20–50% of input energy is typically lost as waste heat. Harnessing this untapped energy stream is a pivotal, yet underutilized, lever in the energy transition.

High-performance industrial heat pumps (HPs) now enable the recovery of low- and medium-temperature waste heat (up to 200 °C). Among these technologies, GIG Karasek’s CompriVAP system represents a breakthrough: an open-cycle, electrically driven mechanical vapor recompression (MVR) solution capable of transforming industrial waste heat directly into clean, high-pressure steam a ...
