Sydney Wyatt is the Sr. Director of Heating at Honeywell where she leads a BTI (short for Break Through Initiative), identified by the company as a high-potential organic growth segment. This BTI incorporates Honeywell’s next-gen ultra-low GWP refrigerant solutions into heat pumps to accelerate the electrification and decarbonization of heat, with Europe as the first market of focus. These efforts help enable the region to safely and sustainably achieve their decarbonization goals, as outlined by RePower EU and Fit for 55, while at the same time, decreasing reliance on gas. Based in Munich, Germany, and originally from the southeastern United States, Sydney holds a BS and MBA from Clemson University in South Carolina. She and her team are responsible for growing and developing the adoption of heat pumps (and minimizing the use of fossil fuel burning systems such as gas boilers). This effort is focused across all heating applications and end-uses, ranging from residential and commercial to industrial and district heating. One of the things Sydney loves most about her job is seeing the direct link between her decarbonization work and the positive impact to the environment.

Rossen Ivanov has joined Armstrong International in 1996 and fulfilled various roles since – becoming Managing Director for the EMEA region in 2013. He has been an integral part of the development of energy-efficiency studies: initially in steam and condensate systems, then in direct process waste heat recovery and lately in Pinch studies and low grade heat recovery using high-temperature industrial heat pumps. This has resulted into Armstrong’s “Circular ThermalSM” concept that allows to transform the historical “one-way” industrial thermal systems – especially for processes requiring < 200°C (food, beverage, pharma, household products, etc.). The concept can be applied beyond the boundaries of a single site, through the cascading of high-grade and low-grade waste heat and the integration with new applications, such as hydrogen electrolyzers and carbon capture systems. Extrapolation of individual site studies results to European energy systems show that industrial waste heat recovery could significantly lower the bar for both the Decarbonization of thermal systems and the energy independence of the EU. Rossen has an MBA from Solvay Brussels School of Economics and Management (Belgium).
