Hybrid boilers combine the best of both worlds: the direct, powerful performance of gas-fired systems and the zero-emission flexibility of electric boilers. Thanks to this combination, hybrid boilers are ideal for industries seeking both reliability and a low environmental footprint.
Benefits in a single system
- Flexible performance: The system delivers stable heat via natural gas, with the option to switch to electric heating during peak demand or when renewable energy is preferred — ideal for fluctuating energy needs or the use of renewable electricity.
- Reduced emissions: By using electric power when wind or solar energy is available, CO₂ emissions are significantly reduced — without compromising continuity or heating capacity.
- Future-proof and scalable: The hybrid setup provides a foundation for further sustainability improvements. E-boiler modules can be easily expanded later on, and integration with H₂-Ready burner technology can be implemented seamlessly.
- Cost-efficient: By intelligently combining peak load capacity and the use of low-cost (or self-generated) electricity with gas, operational costs can be optimized without sacrificing reliability.
Applications and integration
Hybrid boilers are particularly well-suited for industrial processes with fluctuating heat demand, such as batch processes or seasonal production. Examples include production facilities, food processing plants, or wastewater treatment plants, where peak demand coincides with moments of renewable energy generation.
In addition, hybrid boilers can be fully integrated into existing boiler systems without major modifications. This makes them an attractive step for companies aiming to transition to sustainability gradually — while maintaining familiar performance and service levels.
