AKRON, Ohio, Aug. 13, 2024 ~ Echogen Power Systems, a leading provider of clean energy solutions, has announced the launch of a groundbreaking program aimed at reducing industrial greenhouse emissions and advancing a net-zero economy. The program, which has received a $3 million grant from the U.S. Department of Energy's Industrial Efficiency and Decarbonization Office (IEDO), will focus on designing, building, installing, and operating a pilot-scale high-temperature heat pump (HTHP) system.

According to Echogen CEO Phil Brennan, "Industrial decarbonization should be our highest priority to effectively impact climate change." With their expertise in achieving high temperatures and cooling through electrically driven heat pumps, Echogen is uniquely positioned to replace fossil fuel-driven heating processes.

The program's main objective is to develop a 500 kWth HTHP that can generate >300°C air from an ambient temperature heat source. This will be achieved by using carbon dioxide (CO2) as the working fluid, which is a natural refrigerant with a low global warming potential (GWP = 1). At commercial scales ranging from 5 to 25 MWth, the system is expected to demonstrate an attractive capital and operating cost profile. It is projected to have a simple payback period of less than three years when compared to other green heating technologies like direct electrical heaters.

The HTHP system has the potential to decarbonize industrial heating applications in various sectors such as chemicals, food and beverage, and consumer goods manufacturing. By reducing carbon emissions by over 90% and energy intensity by over 50% compared to natural gas-fired heaters, Echogen's HTHP system offers a sustainable and cost-effective solution for industrial energy needs.
