Food and Drinks Industry can lead the transition!

DENEFF – European Heat Pump Association – European Climate Foundations 
Anuga Food Tec - Booth location: Hall 05.2 | Stand D021   
Exhibition principles:  Awareness raising - Intel sharing & Learning – Visitor Engagement – Media & Knowledge hub   

Let's get CO2 out of our food systems!   
We are at the Anuga Food Tec trade fair to raise awareness on the deployment and application of industrial scale electrification (and heat pumps) amongst stakeholders from the food & beverage sector. 

Messages: 
Delivering energy efficiency with industrial heat pumps would significantly reduce the food & drinks sectors’ carbon footprint. 
Heat Pumps are 3-5 times more energy efficient that existing gas boilers 
Industrial heat pumps are readily available to meet the heating (and cooling) needs of the food and drinks industry.   
  
Why: 
Why Food & Drinks sectors: The food and drink industries represented at Anuga Food Tec have the potential to be a leader in carbon reductions, through electrified industrial heating with heat pump already commercially available up to 200 degrees C. This would dramatically reduce the gas demand for the entire sector.   

Anuga FoodTec: This is an ideal location to increase awareness and share knowledge on energy efficiency and heat pumps among key stakeholders and business leaders looking for more information how to reduce their company's energy input.
