UP-FLEXH
Innovative High Temperature Heat Pump for Flexible Industrial Heat on Demand
UP-FLEXH aims to develop and validate an integrated energy system to provide flexible industrial heat maximizing and facilitating the renewable integration and enhancing the overall efficiency of heating generation. In doing so, UP-FLEXH provides enhanced and improved heating technologies and modular systems with the potential to cover or climate zones of Europe by 2030 and to enable 100% climate-neutral heating by 2050. Specifically, UP-FLEXH develops a first-of-a-kind (FOAK), cost-effective and reliable high-temperature industrial heat pump fully integrated in a flexible energy system, including thermal energy storage and solar thermal generation, for industrial medium temperature (~400°C) heat decarbonisation.
