    Armstrong International - MD EMEA | Circular Thermal℠: how to put waste heat back into industrial systems and beyond | High-Temperature Heat Pumps

    We are very honored that our project was selected by the European Commission’s agency CINEA - European Climate, Infrastructure and Environment Executive Agency as part of the 𝗜𝗻𝗻𝗼𝘃𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗙𝘂𝗻𝗱 𝟮𝟬𝟮𝟯 𝗰𝗮𝗹𝗹 (https://lnkd.in/gu4MuH4e).  This is the first – and so far, the only – heat pumps manufacturing project supported by the Innovation Fund. Our project called “CircularSteam” consists in a new modular plant in Herstal (Belgium) to allow for the delivery of up to 50 MW of industrial high-temperature heat pumps from 2027.  It will allow us to scale-up the technology developed by our JV partner Combitherm GmbH, including for the generation of low pressure steam using heat pumps. This manufacturing unit will allow to support the growing European demand for decarbonizing industrial heat <200°C by recovering waste heat from industrial processes and cooling systems.  This allows to reduce by up to -70% the primary energy required by industrial sites in Food & Beverage, Pharma, and other Light Industries.  This “efficient electrification” contributes not only to the climate goals of the EU, but also to its energy security (by replacing imported gas with local renewable electricity) and to its industrial competitiveness (by decreasing and stabilizing the energy costs for the EU industries). This project is part of Armstrong’s program to scale-up the manufacturing of industrial high-temperature heat pumps globally.  It completes our factory expansions in India and in the USA (supported by a DoE grant) – additionally to heat pumps manufacturing in our existing facilities in China and Mexico.  Overall, our global manufacturing capacity of industrial high-temperature heat pumps will exceed 200 MW in 2027.  This technology is in the heart of Armstrong’s Circular Thermal℠ design concept (https://lnkd.in/e_Q8Ybp3) – which is bundling Pinch analysis, (partial or complete) de-steaming, direct heat recovery and low-grade heat recovery using heat pumps. Circular Thermal℠ is increasingly adopted by companies having SBTI goals implying the decarbonization of their thermal systems by 2030. We are very thankful to all our customers, the authorities of the Wallonia region and other partners for their support letters for our project – these were critical to show at which point our vision is shared by private companies, public authorities, academia and industry associations. A special “thank you” also goes to Schuman Associates for their hard work and efficiency in helping us preparing our file. The Armstrong European team is very energized and fully dedicated to deliver the results related to “CircularSteam” and to contribute to the “efficient electrification” part of the energy transition and its positive impact on increased local employment – not only in Belgium, but also everywhere in Europe where the transformation of industrial sites will take place.

    Are you interested in helping interoperability become a reality in the European cloud market?  The European Commission has launched an external study on the interoperability of data processing services to support the implementation of provisions on this subject in the Data Act. We (WIK-Consult GmbH) will be conducting the study along with DECISION Etudes & Conseil and Schuman Associates, and will be seeking input from stakeholders at various stages in the process. This will include an online survey to be conducted around December 2024 and a stakeholder workshop, which will take place around March 2025. Some stakeholders will also be contacted for interviews. The Data Act seeks to remove barriers to cloud switching and support interoperability. It envisages the establishment of a repository for the publication of harmonised standards and common specifications for the interoperability of data processing services (Article 35). The primary aim of the study is to:  - provide an up-to-date overview of existing harmonised standards for cloud interoperability   - identify industry work on relevant open interoperability specifications   - advise on the recognition of harmonised standards and open interoperability specifications in the repository   - identify gaps that would merit the launch of a standardisation request Please contact us via c.interop@WIK.ORG if you are interested in providing input to the study. We look forward to your feedback.
