First steam-generating heat pump pilot project in Vietnam textile mill
Sweden-based fast fashion retailer H&M Group is among the partners in a project to introduce electric thermal technology to Vietnam’s textile and apparel industry. The country’s first steam-generating heat pump is due to be installed at a garment factory near Hanoi later this year.
The initiative brings together the expertise of the Apparel Impact Institute (Aii), WWF, H&M Group and Bangjie, a textile manufacturer whose Hung Yen facility is a key supplier for the Swedish fashion group. The electric heat pump will replace traditional coal-fired boilers, meeting the facility’s full steam and heat requirements while providing a cleaner, more efficient solution.
