ecop Technologies GmbH

ecop Technologies GmbH is an innovative clean-tech company specializing in the development, manufacturing, and distribution of revolutionary, high-temperature large heat pumps and refrigeration machines for industrial use. The main product, the Rotation Heat Pump, features a unique, multiple patented technology that utilizes the compression of the working medium through centrifugal force at up to 1800 revolutions per minute and a subsequent expansion in a single-phase process. This technology enables the generation of heat up to 150 degrees Celsius, making it a game-changer solution for various industrial applications such as the paper, textile, food, and beverage industries as well as district heating and long-distance heating production[3][4].

ecop is committed to accelerating the heat transition process and thereby significantly contributing to climate goals. The company helps industrial companies and heat producers operate sustainably, save costs, and become independent of fossil fuels. By utilizing CO₂-free, efficient, and sustainable industrial heat, ecop makes a significant contribution to decarbonization and achieving climate goals[2][4].

ecop is intensively committed to reducing CO₂ emissions and has already initiated several innovative projects to efficiently recycle industrial waste heat. The Rotation Heat Pump can save up to 2,500 tons of CO₂ per year, equivalent to the absorption capacity of about 100,000 trees. The company is part of flagship projects such as the first earth basin storage in Germany, which utilizes industrial waste heat and air to fill the storage. Additionally, ecop is working on integrating green hydrogen production and other emissions-intensive sectors[1][3][4].

ecop has received numerous national and international awards, including the TRIGOS Award, the European Institute of Innovation and Technology (EIT) Award, the Innovation Award from the World Society of Sustainable Energy Technologies (WSSET), and the European Environment Award from the European Commission. The company has also been funded with 8.5 million euros by the European Innovation Council (EIC) Accelerator, significantly advancing the scale-up of the company[1][2][3].

ecop has established strong partnerships with global players such as SPIE and EIT InnoEnergy to further drive decarbonization in heat generation. The company plans a gradual market entry into all major European markets by 2025 and is working on the series production of its technology. With a planned "Heat-as-a-Service" model, the investment in the facilities will be made even more attractive for customers[1][3].

ecop Technologies GmbH is thus a pioneer in industrial heat pump technology, paving the way to a CO₂-free future through innovative solutions, strong partnerships, and a clear commitment to sustainability and decarbonization.
