According to a recent study by ARENA, process heating accounts for the largest share of onsite energy use in Australian manufacturing, with lower temperature operations like food processing (i.e. < 150 deg C) particularly well-suited to transition to renewables. 

To help processors to understand how they could benefit from making the switch, AMPC, A2EP, and Pitt & Sherry have been providing a series of red meat processor presentations supported by a newly developed Heat Pump Selection Tool.

The heat pump selection tool is an industry developed xl calculator that assists meat processors in better understanding their particular opportunity for switching from fossil fuel process heat to more productive process heat powered by renewable electricity.
