HPT TCP has been active since 1978, with a lot of collaborative research, development, demonstration and deployment projects. We formerly called these projects "Annexes". They are conducted on a combination of cost sharing and task-sharing basis by the participating countries. Here you can read about the projects that are running right now.
The overall objective is to establish an independent knowledge hub with valuable, high-quality information about industrial high-temperature heat pumps, which will create a common understanding at a variety of stakeholders, ultimately leading to an accelerated uptake of industrial heat pumps in industrial applications.

Ambitious climate, energy and environmental goals require the transformation of the energy system into an efficient and renewable system with low CO2Â emissions. Digitalisation is one of the key factors for this transformation.

Project goal: Accelerate the development and acceptance of residential heat pumps through collecting best practices and data from around the world.

For a long time, energy efficiency has been a key selling point for heat pumps. However, with the transition to a more circular economy, an increasing focus on the lifetime of products and the environmental footprint of the materials used in the production phase is expected.

The ultimate goal of the Annex is to contribute to a broader safe use of flammable refrigerants. The objective is that the findings generated in the Annex will be used as background information when regulations regarding the use of flammable refrigerants are updated. The expected outcome is a set of recommendations for updates of the regulations.

The Annex aims to focus on the “Placement Impact on Heat Pump Acoustics” but leaves room for special topics of heat pump acoustics covering selected applications and the refinement of methods.
Visit project
This Annex will focus on heat pump solutions for multi-family houses in high-density cities. With respect to the demand of the participating countries, new buildings and retrofit will be considered, as well as buildings with higher specific heating demand.
Visit project
The Annex aims to analyse and develop conceptual work and engineering on heat pump integration in positive energy neighbourhoods and districts and a roadmap to the transformation of new and existing districts to high energy performance and renewable production in order to support the ambition for future sustainable districts in a cost-effective way.

The focus of this Annex is on “medium” and “shallow” levels of renovation, where the choice between heat pump systems can be more complex. While complete system replacement is a possible option in these situations, constraints of cost and time will often favor solutions where at least some of the existing system is reused.
Visit project
The proposed Annex aims to structure and describe the numerous possibilities and advantages of heat pump integration in dryers. Both state of the art and innovative solutions in industrial, commercial and household applications will be investigated and described.
