Support for Pinch Analysis by the SFOE
Support programs for the conduct of Pinch Analysis projects are available.
Economic Energy Efficiency Improvement Potential using Pinch Analysis
Based on Pinch Analysis studies, the achievable economic energy savings are at least 3 TWh/a and the CO2 reduction is approximately 0.5 million t/a.
Industrial Waste Heat Usage in Thermal Grids
“Selling waste heat instead of inefficiencies”
Further Development of Methods and Tools
In addition to the work carried out in DeCarbCH, HSLU-TEVT has further developed methods and tools using Process Integration.
Saving energy and reducing CO2 emissions with Pinch Analysis

Building an Industrial Temperature Database with UNIGE-EE
UNIGE-EE contributes in the construction of the database of temperature levels for the industrial processes in WP04.
Continuing collaboration with HEIG-VD/IGT
HEIG-VD contributes toward WP04 by providing practical process data and advising the way industrial site and processes should be documented.
The History of Thermal Networks in Switzerland
Thermal networks (including district heating, local heating, or district cooling) have a long tradition in Switzerland – almost 100 years!
