Industrial processes are often energy-intensive and the need for their efficient decarbonization is now at the forefront of governmental and corporate policies worldwide. However, solutions for the green transition of the industrial sector should be flexible, widely applicable, and reliable. Two-thirds of industrial energy consumption is related to heating and cooling processes and is becoming a major environmental problem. The integration of renewable thermal energy sources at industrial sites is therefore crucial.

The planned CEN Workshop Agreement (CWA) specifies the experimental characterization of the modular hybrid heat pump under real operating conditions in order to define a performance map of efficiency and heat pump capacity as a function of operating parameters.
