Ideas & Proposals
If you have a suggestion for an international collaborative project of the IEA Heat Pumping Technologies, please contact the Heat Pump Centre. The HPT aims to increase the number of collaborative projects and your suggestions are therefore very welcome.
Ideas and Proposals
The strategy for the TCP for 2023-2028 includes performing RDD&D activities within the areas of heating, cooling and refrigeration for the building, community, transport and industrial sectors, while widening the scope to include the following points to a larger extent.
RDD&D Priority Areas 2023-2028
Under development
