Why come together?
The Integrating Renewable Energy for Industrial Process Heat Training session, held in Sydney on 2–3 July 2019, focused on building capability in integrating renewable energy systems in industrial processes among energy consultants, industry government representatives and academics. The training aimed to help attendees understand how to optimise renewable energy systems, industrial heat pumps, and thermal storage for both continuous and batch processes for all sizes of industrial processes and sites. The sessions also provided an opportunity for attendees to engage with each other and share lessons from personal experiences.
