Many companies are faced with the challenge of optimizing existing production processes in order to save energy and reduce CO₂ emissions. Fraunhofer ISE offers detailed analyses of existing production processes to identify efficiency potential and facilitate the transition to climate-neutral technologies. In particular, pinch analysis is used to uncover the potential for heat recovery and to optimally integrate heat pumps and storage systems.
