ETP on Renewable Heating & Cooling - RHC- ETP

>> Renewable energy technologies for heating and cooling are safe, clean, efficient and increasingly cost-competitive.

>> The European Technology Platform on Renewable Heating and Cooling, officially endorsed by the European Commission since October 2008, aims at playing a decisive role in maximising synergies and strengthening efforts towards research, development and technological innovation which will consolidate Europe’s leading position in the sector.

>>  As a result, the whole society will benefit from the increasing contribution of renewable heating and cooling to the European Union’s 20/20/20 targets by 2020.

>> The RHC-ETP includes the:

•  Solar Thermal Technology Panel 
• Biomass Technology Panel 
• Geothermal Technology Panel 
• Cross Cutting Technology Panel
