Johnson Controls ( NYSE: JCI ) said it will supply the city of Hamburg, Germany, with a heat-pump system that will lower carbon dioxide emissions by 66,000 tons a year. The company is working with utilities Hamburg Wasser and Hamburg Energy on the installation.
As part of the plan, four large-scale heat pumps will extract heat from treated wastewater that flows out of the city’s central water-treatment plant. The heat will be fed into the central district heating system of Hamburg Energie, part of the Energiepark Hafen network, and supply as many as 39,000 homes.
When the project is completed in 2025, the plant is expected to supply the city heat without burning fossil fuels. Heat pumps transfer heat from one location to another while saving energy.
