High temperature heat pumps will reduce CO2 emissions and lower energy use
Some industries require temperatures of between 100 and 180 degrees. A high temperature heat pump is able to deliver this, so it has great commercial potential. The reduction of climate gas emissions is a global challenge for todays and future generations to minimize the impact…
From cozy woodstove to sustainable and healthy woodstove technology
Hopefully my PhD project will contribute to a sustainable woodstove future, where the impact on climate is mitigated and the air quality will be improved, which will improve people’s health and quality of life. I am researching woodburning stoves, and the impact they have on…
New book on lower temperatures in heat distribution networks
In our new guidebook on low-temperature district heating implementation, we propose a toolbox. Our guidebook contains aggregated information about the main economic drivers for low-temperature district heating. It shows how to obtain lower temperatures in heating systems inside existing and new buildings, as well as…
Hot hotels in cold climates: reducing energy consumption with CO2 heat pumps
We’ve studied 140 hotels in Norway and Sweden, and found that CO2 heat pumps in hotels can reduce thermal energy consumption by about 60%. The hotel sector features high energy consumption, which contributes to the global warming effect. Our latest work presents a study of…
