Turboden Discusses Expanding Role in Industrial Heat Pumps and Decarbonization at Michelangelo's Session

Turboden, an Italian company founded in the 1980s and currently part of Mitsubishi Heavy Industries Group, specializes in producing power plants and organic ranking cycle technology for waste heat recovery systems. The company has expanded its portfolio to include high-temperature industrial heat pumps designed for larger-scale applications compared to conventional models. These high-capacity heat pumps can deliver thermal power ranging from three megawatts up to fifty megawatts per single frame and operate within a temperature range of 95°C to 250°C. The primary applications of these industrial heat pumps include district heating networks, various industrial sectors (such as pulp and paper manufacturing or petrochemical refineries), and carbon capture systems. Notably, Turboden's technology enhances efficiency in capturing carbon dioxide by increasing sequestration capacity through specialized steam compressors. Turboden utilizes modern HFO fluids like 1,2,3-TFE (1234ze) alongside natural refrigerants such as hydrocarbons due to their extensive experience with these materials. One notable project is their six-megawatt installation in Brescia, Italy; it efficiently converts waste water from steel production into useful hot water for district heating networks—demonstrating both environmental benefits and economic potential by repurposing otherwise wasted energy sources.

Our European energy system is undergoing a major transformation, moving towards decentralization with increased penetration of distributed energy resources (DERs) connected to the grid, such as PV solar, battery storage, and EVs. While DERs provide clear benefits such as limiting costs, reducing CO2 emissions, and helping to empower consumers, there are still challenges to overcome to develop DERs to their full potential. This session will focus on best practices and innovative projects, both from a grid and user perspective (e.g. energy communities) and we will discuss how the regulatory framework can be improved to facilitate the penetration of DERs and active participation from consumers.

In this session, we aim to discuss the success factors for end-user sector coupling as a meaningful and cost-efficient way of meeting the EU's decarbonization ambitions, playing a viable role in supporting large-scale integration of decarbonized energy into our power systems. The panel will look at what steps we can take to ensure that end-user sectors (mobility, heating and industry) become a conduit for a resilient energy system and a sustainable Europe. This discussion will be formulated as a cross-sector debate to identify the operational challenges and business opportunities that the integration of efficient end-user sectors offer for grid stability and decarbonization.
