FLAmeless, affordable & high efficiency MIcro turbine system for sustainable residential COgeneration

Project description

Sustainable heat pump for residential cogeneration

Scientists have long been trying to find ways to reduce reliance on oil and fossil fuels, helping save the environment. Heat pumps offer a device that extracts heat, providing an alternative to fossil fuels, producing clean energy while saving significantly on costly budgets. The EU-funded FLAMINCO project provides for an ultra-efficient gas heat pump that consists of an innovative micro combined heat and power unit. It is mainly power by natural gas, and gas mixtures, providing an average efficiency of 160 percent. Development of this system allows for integration into smart grids.
