PartagerLes pompes à chaleur : un outil de décarbonation intelligent pour l’industrie laitière (en anglais)
Pour réduire les émissions et les coûts énergétiques, de plus en plus d’usines laitières se tournent vers les pompes à chaleur industrielles.
Industrial heat pumps use environmental or waste heat sources to deliver the high temperatures needed for dairy processes like pasteurisation, cleaning (CIP), and HVAC. When powered by green electricity, carbon emissions can be significantly reduced. Although initial costs are higher, they offer long-term savings through lower fuel use and smart load management.
A case study from E.ON, a major European energy solutions provider, highlights the technology’s potential: in Northern Europe, a heat pump system was implemented to provide both heating and cooling, optimize energy loads, and reduce costs and CO₂ emissions. Another turnkey project replaced a steam boiler with a high-efficiency heat pump and electrical boiler, supporting a client’s net-zero targets.
Despite challenges such as integration and grid capacity, modular, pre-assembled systems and growing financial incentives make heat pumps a practical option. With projects already delivering up to 100°C, the technology shows strong promise for broader industrial adoption.
