Objective<\/h2>\n<\/div>\n\n
\n

This Annex focus on the implementation of heat pumps in district heating and cooling systems, describe possible solutions and barriers for heat pumps on these markets. Creation of the possible flexibility in the thermal network and electrical grid, is a main part of the annex.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n

\n

The possibilities of increasing a larger share of renewable energy and excess heat as well as reduce the CO2 emission in the used heating systems by using heat pumps will be a focus area of the Annex. In addition, minimizing the system losses by using heat pumps will also be an objective as will the reduction of CO2 emissions.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n

Aim of the Annex<\/h2>\n<\/div>\n\n
\n

The results of this study are aimed at the ExCo for the HPT TCP, for national policy makers, and decision makers of DHC systems, planers and operators of DHC systems as well as manufacturers of large heat pumps. The results will provide an overview of the possibilities and barriers regarding the implementation of heat pumps in district heating and cooling systems.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Background<\/h2>\n<\/div>\n\n
\n

Worldwide, there is a governmental focus on using energy more efficiently and increasing the use of renewable energy, which will lead to a lower dependence of fossil fuels and a reduction of greenhouse gas emissions. Goal 7 for affordable and clean energy of the United Nations has the following subgoals;<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n
