World first wins Rhineland-Palatinate Innovation Award. FUTURA heats halls for the energy transition: With electricity, with hydrogen, with gas.
"The energy transition needs realistically feasible and affordable solutions",
sagt Thomas Kübler, Experte für Hallenheizungstechnologien und Gründer der KÜBLER GmbH. Eine solche Lösung ist die neueste Entwicklung des Ludwigshafener Unternehmens – namens FUTURA. Die innovative Infrarot-Hallenheizung integriert die LED-Hallenbeleuchtung in einem Gerät. Vor allem jedoch ermöglicht sie den wirtschaftlichen Weg in die CO₂-freie Beheizung von Hallengebäuden, denn die Weltneuheit kann – im Mix- oder Monobetrieb – mit erneuerbaren oder etablierten Energieträgern betrieben werden. Ein wichtiger Beitrag für den Klimaschutz, den das Ministerium für Wirtschaft, Verkehr, Landwirtschaft und Weinbau am Freitag als Gewinner der Kategorie „Handwerk“ mit dem Innovationspreis des Landes Rheinland-Pfalz auszeichnete.
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."
The FUTURA is installed on the hall ceiling and thus ensures maximum flexibility for the use of the hall floor and work areas. The infrared heating works in the same way as the sun. It heats everything that is illuminated: People, machines, hall floor. The heat comes from above, below and from all sides at the same time. The ideal way to heat large rooms effectively and economically, as this heat transfer is energy-efficient with savings of 50 to 70 percent. "With FUTURA, we heat flexibly in terms of time and location," says Kübler, "because we only cover the heat demand that actually exists. After all, the most efficient heating system is the one that isn't running."
The multi-energy infrared heater brings light into the energy revolution.
Since lighting and infrared heating work according to the same physical laws, both systems often compete for space under the hall ceiling. This problem is solved because FUTURA can optionally combine both functions in one device. This also increases the sustainability and cost-effectiveness of the innovation, as only one infrastructure is required for both functions. It also reduces planning, implementation, space requirements and service costs. The energy-saving LEDs provide high-quality light and fatigue-free working conditions. They are glare-free, flicker-free, highly efficient and CE-compliant.
KÜBLER wins the prestigious innovation award for the fourth time.
„Innovationen sind Motor unserer Wirtschaft und somit ein Garant für Wohlstand“, sagt Wirtschaftsministerin Daniela Schmitt, die die renommierte Auszeichnung im Rahmen der festlichen Preisverleihung im Berufsbildungs- und Technologiezentrum Kaiserslautern überreichte. KÜBLER wird damit zum vierten Mal vom Land Rheinland-Pfalz für seine herausragenden Innovationsleistungen gewürdigt. Der Innovationspreis Rheinland-Pfalz wird gemeinsam vom Ministerium für Wirtschaft, Verkehr, Landwirtschaft und Weinbau und den Arbeitsgemeinschaften der Industrie- und Handelskammern und der Handwerkskammern Rheinland-Pfalz vergeben. Die Jury hat die Prämierungen in den Kategorien „Unternehmen“, „Handwerk“, „Kooperation“, „Sonderpreis Industrie“ und „Sonderpreis der Wirtschaftsministerin 2023: CO₂-Reduktion durch innovative Verfahren und Produkte‘“ ausgewählt.

Gas is decentralized, flexible, can be stored efficiently and is inexpensive. The energy source is a guarantee for the success of the energy transition. Ten associations from the gas industry have joined forces and formulated an appeal for the climate protection plan, explaining why gas as an energy source can already achieve significant CO₂ savings cost-effectively today.

"We've been saving on heating for 15 years" Ludwigshafen. The workshop of the Bähr car dealership in Ludwigshafen has been heated with KÜBLER infrared systems for 15 years - smoothly and economically highly profitable. Owner Frank Bähr is more than satisfied.

Energy savings of up to 70 % - with these values, KÜBLER heating systems are perhaps one of the most effective levers for reducing primary energy consumption, CO₂ emissions and costs in the hall sector. Depending on the project, this can amount to annual savings of €300,000 and more. A sum that can be used for design. Because it offers financial freedom. For architectural innovations. For further beneficial measures on the building structure. The innovation leader presented its latest developments at ISH 2019 in Frankfurt.
