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.

Photovoltaic prices have fallen continuously in recent years - a trend that should translate into a growing market for off-grid solutions. Declining costs are crucial for rural electrification in particular, making sustainable energy supply economically viable in remote regions. However, so far many of these price advantages have not yet reached the people that need them most. Do existing framework conditions to foster rural electrification still work in this new market reality? Which measures are needed to ensure that cost reductions reach our target group? This session discusses strategies for improving the availability of low-cost off-grid solutions, financing and innovative business models. A look at successful practical examples shows which political, economic and technological levers need to be pulled to make off-grid PV accessible on a large scale.
