ZIMBA’s Impact in Focus

18.04.2025

The ZIMBA Project is leading the way toward smarter, cleaner industrial heating—and its potential impact is big.

Here’s how ZIMBA is set to make a real difference:

Improved Heat Pump Performance

ZIMBA’s innovative Absorption Heat Transformer (AHT) system converts waste heat into usable energy with minimal electricity. The result? A compact, cost-effective, and sustainable solution for high-temperature industrial applications.

Reduced Environmental Footprint

The system is engineered with resilience in mind—relying mainly on stainless steel and using only limited copper for the liquid pump motor. That means fewer critical materials and greater sustainability for European industries.

Lower Greenhouse Gas Emissions

By using ammonia—a refrigerant with zero ozone depletion potential and no global warming impact—ZIMBA supports the EU’s climate goals and helps curb harmful emissions.

Enhanced Energy System Integration

ZIMBA’s technology recovers ultra-low-grade waste heat that normally goes unused and turns it into valuable steam. This helps improve efficiency across industrial processes while supporting the shift to clean energy.

We’re proud to be contributing to a more sustainable and resilient future with ZIMBA.
