Within the RHC-ETIP platform (the European Technology and Innovation Platform on Renewable Heating and Cooling) a series of online national roundtables presents individual EU Member States’ strategies and challenges in achieving 100 % renewable heating and cooling at the national level. Each session convenes representatives of the key RHC technologies such as solar thermal energy, geothermal energy and heat pumps to share best practices and foster cross‑sector collaboration.
