This year, the European Technology and Innovation Platform on Renewable Heating and Cooling (RHC-ETIP) will host its annual event, the 100% RHC Event, on April 10, 2024, in Graz, Austria, as part of the ISEC conference framework. In a 90-minute session, information about RHC-ETIP and insights from the platform’s horizontal working groups will be shared focusing on the coupling of heating and power sectors, innovative concepts in districts and cities, solutions for individual buildings, and the decarbonization of heat demand…

The EU’s ability to produce home-grown, competitive clean energy technologies is essential to achieve our climate targets, strengthen the EU’s energy security, and guarantee a cost-efficient energy transition for industries and consumers. Want to know more about the potential of multi-energy and sector-integrated systems for achieving the 2040 Climate Target, while mitigating EU industries' CO2 emissions? Join the ENZA webinar, “Industry contribution to 2040 targets strategy through reinforced sector integration” on 14 May 2024, at 14:30 - 15:45. This event…

Join the Cool Heating Coalition on 28 May from 11:00 CEST for the online launch of their research report, Fahrenheit 2040: heating and cooling in the EU. The report considers the outlook for heating and cooling decarbonisation based on the Öko-Institut’s assessment of the current EU policy framework. The event will include a presentation of our findings and a discussion on further action needed to decarbonise the sector by 2040. Meet the speakers: Matthieu Ballu, Policy Officer, Renewables and energy…

District heating and cooling networks are one of Europe’s top choices to phase-out fossil fuels in buildings, putting the EU well on track to achieve its climate and energy independence goals. In recent years, unprecedented momentum has built up to support the deployment of this essential energy infrastructure in Europe. Providing 20% of the EU heat demand with district heating and cooling would save 24 billion cubic meters of gas by 2030, representing 32% of the EU’s Russian gas imports…

Join us for an insightful event hosted by the RHC-ETIP project, which will connect perspectives of Western European countries on their vision for achieving 100% renewable heating and cooling (RHC) across Europe. This discussion aims to highlight the diverse perspectives and strategies essential to realising this ambitious goal while addressing the significant challenges ahead. By adopting a tailored, region-specific approach, this event seeks to identify and tackle barriers specific to the Western EU region, leveraging shared climatic and social conditions. Through…

We are excited to announce that together with the European Environmental Bureau, we are hosting "Solar talks: getting the most out of your roof" as part of the EU Sustainable Energy Week (EUSEW). Join us on June 11 from 14:30 to 16:00 in Brussels, or connect with us online if you can't make it in person. Heat represents 80% of the energy needs for households. In this session, we will address the topic of heat decarbonisation for buildings through best…

Intersolar Europe is the world’s leading exhibition for the solar industry. It takes place as part of The smarter E Europe – the continent’s largest platform for the energy industry. It focuses on photovoltaics, solar thermal technologies and solar power plants. The conference will take place between 18 - 19 June 2024, and the exhibition between 19 - 21 June 2024.

Join us for the 12th event in the series Zero-Emission Buildings Academy, organised by Leonardo Energy, BPIE, ECTP and ICA Europe: EPBD & THE SOLAR MANDATE: LET’S TALK ABOUT IT/HEAT! Heat represents 80% of the energy needs for buildings and its decarbonisation is crucial for an adequate energy transition. The provision of hot water, heating and cooling in our homes and buildings is crucial for people’s health, hygiene and well-being. Providing them with a fair choice of reliable, clean, and…
