Industrial Heat Pumps in Food Production: Turning Waste Heat into Power and Profit

Industrial Heat Pumps in Food Production: Turning Waste Heat into Power and Profit
September 23, 2026 - 1:00 PM CEST  

Rising utility costs and sustainability goals demand companies to reduce CO₂ emissions and energy use, making waste heat an increasingly valuable – and often untapped – resource. Recovering and reusing waste heat establishes on-site energy circularity that increases overall facility efficiency, significantly lowers operational costs, and supports decarbonization and sustainability efforts.

Industrial heat pumps make it possible for food and beverage companies to recover heat from ammonia refrigeration systems and reuse the thermal energy for production processes like pasteurization, sterilization and space heating – resulting in cost savings that can quickly pay back upfront investment.

Join this session to learn how industrial heat pumps work, see in-the-field results and determine the scope of your facility’s opportunity.

• How industrial heat pumps turn waste heat into cost savings.
• What makes a facility a strong candidate for ammonia-refrigeration heat recovery.
• How an infant nutrition producer cut annual carbon emissions by 10 percent while reducing energy costs by more than a half.
• How to design a heat pump system that maximize energy savings and accelerates return on investment.
