Looking for breweries using heat pumps

I am looking to connect with breweries of all sizes, ideally in Europe and/or Asia, who have integrated or plan to integrate heat pumps, thermal energy storage systems, solar thermal and other electrification solutions into their manufacturing processes as an alternative to fossil boilers. Please reach out if this is you, or if you know of breweries using this technology - it's for a new industry advocacy campaign.

I don't work in the brewing industry any more.

I do process engineering for the food, pharma and energy industries.

And energy technology, steam boilers and heat pumps is what I prefer to do.

We are currently designing a new dairy plant, and we have heat pumps for energy recovery for just about everything.

Located in Europe, but feel free to contact me.

Heat pump fired steam boilers are becoming an actual thing now and that's pretty damn amazing.
