Engineering Solutions - Energy and Heat Supply

The energy transition in Germany, the political goals that have been adopted to this end – and the resulting pressure on operators and plant manufacturers to modernize or build new innovative technologies – as well as the very strong global push for climate neutrality, are having a significant impact on the needs and requirements of our entire energy industry.

At INP, we offer a holistic approach for the numerous upcoming projects of our customers for energy-efficient renovation, for achieving the decarbonization target, and for the expansion of renewable energy and the use of new energy technologies. We support our customers and partners from the initial idea, through technical and economic feasibility studies, and through all project phases to successful implementation.

• Construction of new plants and retrofitting of existing plants for “green(er)” energy production
• Decarbonization of (local/district) heating networks, industrial site and neighborhood supply systems using innovative heating technologies
• Large industrial heat pumps with associated infrastructure
• Use of environmental heat (river, sea, groundwater, clear and waste water, etc.)
• Utilization of waste heat from industry, data centers and other waste energy (process and cooling water, flue gas, exhaust air and room air, etc.)
• Energy storage systems / Power to X (PtX) / sector coupling
• Hydrogen production plants and associated distribution infrastructure

• Solution development, transformation planning
• Feasibility studies incl. profitability studies
• System-supported modeling and simulations
• Basic planning, detailed planning, detailed conception
• Project planning (preliminary/draft and approval planning) incl. project and approval management
• Implementation support (tenders, contract award support, and construction supervision)
• General planning services throughout all phases of the project through holistic, integrative processing of process and plant engineering with the INP departments of electrical and control technology, technical building equipment, machine and welding technology, as well as construction and infrastructure
