Las bombas de calor pueden acelerar significativamente la descarbonización del sector industrial mediante la electrificación de los procesos de calefacción y refrigeración. Mientras que las tecnologías de bombas de calor para usos residenciales y comerciales han recibido cierta atención, el uso potencial de las bombas de calor en la industria -y el ahorro energético y de gases de efecto invernadero (GEI) asociado- está infravalorado y poco explorado.

Industrial process heat accounts for as much as 51% of on-site industrial energy use. Across all manufacturing, process heating is responsible for almost 300 million metric tons of onsite CO2e emissions. Electricity currently provides less than 5% of that heat. ACEEE research has found that industrial IHPs can reduce the energy use associated with industrial process heat by up to 518 TBtus and enable CO2e savings of between 30-43 million tons per year, which is equivalent to the emissions from 6.5–9.2 million gasoline-powered passenger vehicles driven for one year.
