Increasing ambition for renewable heating and cooling: Is the current energy modelling enough?
EGEC has released a policy paper assessing the current European Commission’s energy modelling for heating and cooling, used to generate forecasts that serve as basis for policy proposals and policy making. The resulting analysis shows a lack of robustness in the Commission’s forecasts for the heating and cooling sector, which translates in a lack of ambition, in the initial ...

Solar Thermal Action Plan for Europe
Ten years ago, the European Commission published its White Paper on Renewables, proposing a Community Strategy and Action Plan. Since then, European Directives to promote renewables in the electricity sector and in the transport sector have been successful in kicking off substantial growth in these two sectors. However, the renewable heating and cooling (RES-H) sector has been neglected at EU ...

Heating and Cooling in the upcoming EU Renewables Directive
It is crucial that the future EU Renewables Directive includes effective measures to promote renewable heating and cooling (RES-H). To reach the 20% target by 2020, almost half of the growth in renewables production has to come from RES-H alone. Heating is a primary human need. Supply shortage recently became a credible scenario. While reducing this risk, RES-H can achieve substantial cost ...

DYGEO: boosting support for geothermals to promote the use of this green energy
In 2018, ADEME and BRGM decided to focus on increasing the visibility of geothermal energy. First of all, this involves uniting the organisations that are promoting geothermal energy around an “advocacy campaign” for surface geothermal energy and then also of increasing the visibility of geothermal energy on the Internet. The need With the Multi-Year Energy Plan predicting that ...

Preparing your plumbing and heating business for the UK's Race to Zero
Currently, 80% of British households use gas central heating systems, but that won't be the case in the future. The UK is switching to renewable energy, and by 2035, all of the country's electricity will come from clean energy sources. To support the government's efforts to switch to renewable energy and cut carbon emissions, why not offer low-carbon solutions now and help the government reach ...
