• LOT 2 - Heat Pumping Technologies (HPT)

  LOT 2 - Heat Pumping Technologies (HPT) The Alternate Delegate for the Heat Pumping Technologies TCP will support in ensuring the UK derives value from participation in the HPT TCP. The HPT TCP is a non-profit organization working in the field of heat pumping technologies, i.e., all technologies where heat is lifted from a lower temperature level to a higher one, such as heat pumps, air conditioning, and refrigeration. Under the management of an Executive Committee representing the member countries, the programme carries out a strategy to accelerate the use of heat pumping technologies in all applications where they can reduce energy consumption, increase the use of renewable energy sources, and contribute to energy security and affordable energy for all – for the benefit of people, the environment, and a sustainable future. The main activities within the programme are to run collaborative research, development, demonstration, and deployment projects, to organise a triennial conference, and to perform communication through the Heat Pump Centre, the Projects, and the National teams. Further detail of the HPT TCP can be found here: https://heatpumpingtechnologies.org/ Participating countries are: Austria, Belgium, Canada, China, the Czech Republic, Denmark, Finland, France, Italy, Ireland, Germany, Japan, the Netherlands, Norway, South Korea, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, the United Kingdom, and the United States.
