Support action on heat pumps

Description du marché

The REpowerEU Plan has set ambitious objectives for heat pump deployment in Europe. The Commission report on the Competitiveness of clean energy technologies of 15 November 2022 indicates some bottlenecks that are also related to scaling up manufacturing and to improve certain technical aspects (e.g. smart controls of heat pumps or faster transition to low-GWP refrigerants). The aim of this action is to take stock of the results of R&I projects on heat pumps in both the building and industry sectors, monitor data on deployment and competitiveness of heat pumps, consult the key heat pump industrial and research actors in the EU in order to develop a joint research approach for low upfront-cost, efficient, smart and interoperable heat pumps (including for existing buildings where heat pumps are currently not an affordable option), as well as supporting a specific activity strand in the frame of the SET Plan.
