High Impact Alternative Fuels

Industrial and commercial heat processes are among the most challenging to decarbonise. Whether you’re looking to reduce reliance on fossil fuels or electrify high-temperature operations, Arthian helps you identify and implement the right low-carbon heat solutions for your site.
 
We provide expert consultancy on alternative fuels and high temperature heat pumps—supporting your transition to cleaner, more efficient energy systems that align with your net zero goals.

What Are Alternative Fuels and High Temperature Heat Pumps?

Alternative fuels are low-carbon or renewable energy sources that can replace natural gas, oil, or coal in industrial and commercial heating systems.
 
These include:


     

  • Hydrogen and hydrogen blends
  • Biogas and biomethane
  • Synthetic fuels (e-fuels)
  • Waste-derived fuels

 
High temperature heat pumps (HTHPs) are advanced systems that use electricity to deliver heat at temperatures up to 160°C or higher—suitable for many industrial processes and district heating applications.
 
Together, these technologies offer viable pathways to decarbonise heat-intensive operations while improving energy efficiency and resilience.

Frequently Asked Questions

Are high temperature heat pumps suitable for industrial processes?

Yes. Modern HTHPs can deliver temperatures up to 160°C or more, making them suitable for many industrial applications such as drying, pasteurisation, and cleaning.

What are the benefits of switching to alternative fuels?

Alternative fuels can reduce carbon emissions, improve energy security, and future-proof your operations against fossil fuel volatility and regulation.

Can I combine heat pumps with alternative fuels?

Absolutely. Hybrid systems that combine HTHPs with hydrogen-ready boilers or biogas burners can offer flexibility and resilience.

Is funding available for these technologies?

Yes. We can support applications to schemes like the IETF, which funds industrial fuel switching and heat pump projects.

How do I know which solution is right for my site?

That’s where we come in. Our feasibility studies and modelling help you compare options and make confident, data-driven decisions.
