During the critical period of deepening the "dual carbon" strategic goals, the chemical industry is facing multiple pressures, including dual control of energy consumption, high costs, and environmental upgrades. Heat pump distillation technology, with its core advantages of energy cascade utilization and efficient waste heat recovery, is rapidly becoming a core engine for carbon reduction in the industry. According to relevant institutions, the penetration rate of heat pump applications in the chemical sector will increase to 28% by 2026, with demand for related equipment growing by more than 35%, forming a huge market worth nearly 100 billion yuan.

Against this backdrop, the CTEF China International Chemical Technology and Equipment Fair will host the "China Heat Pump Distillation Energy Saving Optimization Technology Application and Innovation Forum" in Shanghai on June 9, 2026. This conference will focus on topics such as energy efficiency improvement and engineering application of heat pump distillation systems, low-grade waste heat recovery and heat pump coupling technology, adaptation of new heat pump equipment to special chemical working conditions, and industrialization challenges and solutions. It will build a high-end exchange platform integrating industry, academia, research and application, and accelerate the transformation of innovative achievements into productivity for the green transformation of the chemical industry.
