Large-scale heat pumps are a key technology for the defossilization (decarbonization) of industry and district heating. They efficiently utilize waste heat and ambient heat – but at the same time present companies with complex technical, legal, and environmental challenges.

Our online seminar highlights what really matters in practice, makes typical pitfalls visible, and provides the necessary know-how to move projects forward safely and in line with approval requirements.

Topics

The following key topics are planned for this year:

  • Approval and planning law for large-scale heat pump systems
  • Requirements for water protection and nature conservation
  • Major accident (Seveso) assessment
  • Acoustic assessment of large-scale heat pump systems – noise emissions, immission levels and noise mitigation measures
  • Field report
