Technology

Malta Advanced Heat Pump (AHP)

Ultra-high temperature heat pump delivering 300-550ºC with coefficients of performance (COP) between 2 and 6.

Malta AHP Addresses Key Challenges Decarbonizing Industry

The only commercially available heat pump delivering 300-550ºC to replace gas furnaces and electric heaters at these temperatures.

Most energy-intensive industries still rely on gas-fired boilers, furnaces, and less efficient electric heating to deliver high-temperature process heat. These systems expose operators to fuel price volatility, rising emissions costs, and limited pathways to reduce CO₂ emissions.
