On June 21st, a RHC-ETIP session at the EUSEW with flash presentations of innovative projects from the different Renewable Energy Sources in Heating and Cooling (RES-HC) sectors. The event attracted even more people than the meeting room capacity allowed for. After the presentations, discussions took place on the role of the EU in RES-HC related innovation and ideas/experiences on how to overcome possible bottlenecks were exchanged.

The RHC-ETIP offered indeed the possibility for in­no­v­a­tive pro­jects to be presented to wider audience. More specifically, one project has been selected for each of the seven following technology categories:

• Biomass – Pilot scale torrefaction of local biomass residues (Torplant)
• District heating and cooling
• Geothermal
• Heat pumps
• Hybrid systems
• Thermal energy storage
• Solar thermal heating and cooling

The event also provided both visibility for the Renewable Energy Sources technology and possibility for networking.
