The European Sustainable Energy Week is back! Join the European Heat Pump Association and Euroheat & Power for an exciting event on 13 June.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Heating and cooling represent half of the EU’s final energy consumption. Yet, roughly 80% is based on fossil fuels, mostly imported. This is why the transition to sustainable heating and cooling is paramount in achieving our climate goals and ensuring our energy security.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Heat pumps and district energy are important net zero solutions to decarbonise heating and recover waste heat from industrial processes and buildings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Join the European Heat Pump Association (EHPA)<\/strong> and Euroheat & Power (EHP) <\/strong>during the European Sustainable Energy Week 2024 for a thrilling debate titled No hot air! The potential of waste heat for decarbonising industry, cities and buildings<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Together, we\u2019ll delve into the untapped sources of waste heat and their potential, illustrating with best practice examples the role of heat pumps and district heating & cooling to harness excess heat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Policy experts and industry leaders will discuss barriers and solutions regarding the implementation of the Fit for 55 Package and explore on-site waste heat recovery strategies not yet covered by existing legislation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
