Project description
Supporting the renewable heating and cooling industry
The Secretariat of the European Technology and Innovation Platform on Renewable Heating and Cooling (RHC-ETIP) assists its stakeholders in coordinating activities to increase the use of renewable energy sources for heating and cooling. The EU-funded SecRHC-ETIP2022-2025 project will focus on the need to enlarge RHC-ETIP membership by involving policymakers and RHC stakeholders on the national level, and other relevant parties. The project will establish the RHC Accelerator and develop an RHC industrial strategy focusing on the related industry. SecRHC-ETIP2022-2025 will support interactions between the many stakeholders from industry, research and academia, and for different renewable heating and cooling technologies. This will assist the RHC sector’s growth and competitiveness towards traditional heating and cooling technologies.
Objective
This proposal aims at supporting the work which has been carried out by the secretariat of the European Technology and Innovation Platform on Renewable Heating and Cooling since 2009. The role of the secretariat is to assist the stakeholders of the RHC-ETIP in coordinating activities related to the implementation of a research and innovation strategy to increase the use of renewable energy sources for heating and cooling in line and supporting the targets set by the European Green Deal, as well as to foster the growth and the market uptake of the RHC technologies. The secretariat provides support to the structure of the RHC-ETIP, by organising meetings, events, and relevant consultations, and by assisting with the preparation of relevant documents (both of technical and of political nature) to raise the profile and importance of the renewable heating and cooling sector, and its related technologies. It also provides consensus-based strategic advice to the SET-Plan and will play an active role in the planned update of the SET-Plan in 2022. This proposal keeps the emphasis on the need to enlarge the membership of the RHC-ETIP by involving more closely policy makers and RHC stakeholders on the national level, as well as other relevant stakeholders (i.e. new markets for the H&C demand side, and socioeconomic experts) in its work. This proposal adds stronger emphasis on the RHC industry through establishment of RHC Accelerator and the development of the RHC industrial strategy. By supporting interactions between the many stakeholders representing industry, research and academia, from different renewable heating and cooling technologies, and by further inclusion of complementary sectors and expertise, the SecRHC-ETIP will assist the RHC sector in strengthening its growth and competitiveness both vis-à-vis traditional heating and cooling technologies, as well as with respect to other RES energies and competitors coming from non-EU countries.
