A fast and just energy transition in the heating and cooling sector

May 23, 2019

Solar Heat Europe is proud to present its policy manifesto for a Fast and Just Energy Transition in the Heating and Cooling Sector.With this document, we want to convey the urgency for deploying a renewable heating system, as well as the great potential solar thermal energy has to meet the needs for heating and cooling of European citizens and European industry. Not only is solar thermal a mature and very efficient technology, it can also reach large-scale energy production for industrial use and provide thermal storage capacity.Finally, we also put forward our policy asks to ensure that solar thermal will contribute with its full potential to a completely decarbonised European energy system.

Infographic | December 9, 2019

Green Technologies can benefit from special mechanisms that expedite the processing of applications. This means less time to obtain the patent and the opportunity to start selling/licensing your technology sooner. Obtain an exclusive right to exclude your competitors from commercially exploiting your invention. Protect a product or a process that provides a new way of doing something g or offers a new technical solution to a technical problem.

Fossil fuels and chemicals What's the current situation like?

MODERN CIVILIZATION THRIVES ON A CONSTANT FLOW OF ENERGY AND MATERIAL GOODS, OBTAINED FROM NATURAL RESOURCES SUCH AS FOSSIL FUELS, MINERALS AND BIOMASS. THIS LEADS TO THE PRODUCTION OF LARGE AMOUNTS OF WASTE, WHICH BECOMES DIFFICULT TO HANDLE. SUCH A LINEAR ECONOMIC SYSTEM IS NOT SUSTAINABLE HAVING NEGATIVE EFFECTS FOR OUR PLANET.
