Follow on Google News | Great innovation potential of solar heating and cooling confirmedThe European Technology Platform on Renewable Heating and Cooling issues a new document on the potential for technological development in solar heating and cooling until 2050.
By: European Solar Thermal Industry Federation(ESTIF) The Solar Thermal Technology Panel (ESTTP) of the European Technology Platform on Renewable Heating and Cooling (RHC-Platform) According to the Common Vision of the RHC-Platform, in 2020 renewable energy technologies could meet over 25% of the heat demand in the European Union and this could go up to 100% before 2040. Solar heating and cooling can make a major contribution to this target, as it is the technology with the fastest growth potential up to 2020. For this potential to be fully realized, it is crucial to intensify innovation efforts in solar thermal technology. “This new document shows clearly the technological path for a future with a wide-spread use of solar energy for heating and cooling”, says Gerhard Stryi-Hipp, Chairman of the Solar Thermal Technology Panel. However, he adds “the awareness of politicians about the importance of solar thermal in the future energy mix must grow and a strong increase in the budget for research and development is needed”.
