Kaiserslautern. Heating and lighting industrial and commercial buildings in a climate-neutral way - that is "excellent", according to the jury of the state of Rhineland-Palatinate, which awarded the prestigious innovation prize to KÜBLER GmbH from Ludwigshafen. With this award, the state honours the immediately implementable and economical contribution to decarbonization in industrial heat supply through the FUTURA multi-energy system. KÜBLER GmbH has been developing heating systems for halls for more than three decades, employs 130 people and has built up proven expertise with its own R&D unit. This is already the fourth innovation award in the company's history.

"The energy transition needs realistically feasible and affordable solutions",

says Thomas KÜBLER, expert in hall heating technologies and founder of KÜBLER GmbH. One such solution is the latest development from the Ludwigshafen-based company – called FUTURA. The innovative infrared hall heating system integrates LED hall lighting in a single device. Above all, however, it enables an economical path to CO₂-free heating of hall buildings, as this world first can be operated with renewable or established energy sources, either in mixed or mono mode. This is an important contribution to climate protection, which the Ministry of Economics, Transport, Agriculture, and Viticulture honored on Friday as the winner of the „Crafts“ category with the Innovation Award of the State of Rhineland-Palatinate.

FUTURA is a highly efficient, multi-energy-source-capable, fully digitized infrared heating system for CO₂-neutral heat supply in industrial and other hall buildings. Regardless of whether green hydrogen or electricity will shape the future, FUTURA can handle both. The multi-energy IR heating system can also use biogas, (biogenic) liquefied petroleum gas, or natural gas, allowing you to switch between energy sources depending on availability. This compensates for the volatility of renewable energies and ensures operational reliability.

"FUTURA is the investment-safe hall heating solution for the entire transformation path of decarbonization - from today to beyond 2045."
