Topic of the month
This ToM explores key actions to accelerate heat pump deployment in Europe’s building sector, focusing on policy support, market readiness, skills and innovative solutions, while drawing on insights from LIFE CET projects:
- Compatibility of market-available heat pumps with the existing buildings stock: low-temperature HP for low-temperature emission systems versus higher temperature HP for radiator-based heating systems
- Skill gaps in the heat pump sector
- Power2heat: flexibility market readiness
- The need for storage in HP (SotA and innovative TES)
... and more!
