What is Thermal Eenergy Expo ?

A specialized exhibition focused on "thermal energy", an essential component of decarbonizing industrial and commercial sectors.
The show brings together key players, technologies, and information related to heat generation, utilization, recovery, and control—areas gaining increasing attention on the path toward carbon neutrality.
By gathering all stakeholders in one venue, the exhibition drives innovation and supports the advancement of this critical field.

* Highlights from the previous co-located exhibition

Background: Launch of a New Comprehensive Thermal Energy Exhibition

01. Heat is a critical key to achieving carbon neutrality.

Heat—including steam, hot water, and high-temperature processes—accounts for around 60% of energy consumption in the industrial sector, making it indispensable to achieving carbon neutrality. While progress in the power sector has advanced, measures for heat have lagged behind, highlighting the urgent need for integrated technological innovation.

02. Rising Energy Costs as a Critical Management Challenge

Rising fuel prices and costs have made reducing heat-related expenses a key issue directly affecting corporate profitability. As a result, interest and investment in heat-efficiency technologies—such as boiler upgrades, heat pumps, and waste heat recovery—are increasing, and heat is now being recognized as a clear investment target.

03. Positioned as a Priority Area in the Government’s GX

The government’s GX policy clearly prioritizes the decarbonization of industrial heat, including process electrification, waste heat utilization, and fuel switching. As subsidies and policy frameworks expand, the role of specialized exhibitions will become increasingly important.
