Industrial Heat Pump: Efficiency and decarbonization in the beverage industry

bombas de calor

The implementation of renewable thermal technologies in energy-intensive industrial processes, such as pasteurization in the food industry, is key to reducing dependence on fossil fuels and optimizing energy consumption. These solutions not only improve sustainability but also increase the competitiveness of production plants by reducing operating costs and strengthening compliance with climate targets. In this article, we present the case of a beverage company that has installed a high-temperature heat pump to power its juice pasteurization process. We analyze the results obtained in terms of efficiency, economic savings, and emission reductions, with a projected return on investment in just 4 years.

Beer with solar steam: A theoretical case of energy transition in the agrifood industry

energy transition

The transition to clean energy sources in the agrifood sector is no longer just a vision — it’s becoming a reality, driven by the need to reduce emissions, improve energy efficiency, and decrease dependence on fossil fuels. Industrial processes such as cooking, pasteurization, and cleaning require large amounts of heat, and steam generation through solar technologies is emerging as a sustainable and cost-effective solution.

In this article, we analyze the case of a brewery in Valencia that has integrated a concentrating solar thermal system based on linear Fresnel collectors. This plant now covers 10% of its thermal demand using solar energy, avoiding the emission of 1,300 tons of CO₂ per year — an investment made viable through an energy sales model and public support.
