rgThe IEA Heat Pump Programme (HPP)

HPP is one of 40 Implementing Agreements

(technology collaboration) within IEA,

the International Energy Agency

HPP formed 1978

Cooperation agreements

with:

• International Institute of

Refrigeration

• European Heat Pump

Association

ww

rg

• Reduce exposure to supply risk

• Reduce infrastructure costs for

energy supply networks

Heat Pump benefits

Heat pumps can:

• Have a material impact on GHG emissions at a

modest cost

• Heat pumps can cut global CO2

emissions by nearly 8%*

*IEA HPC (2008) “Heat pumps can cut global CO2 emissions by nearly 8%”

rgSignificance of HPP

• HPP is an international

framework of

cooperation/networking for

different HP actors (industry, governments, research

representatives etc)

• HPP is an forum to exchange

knowledge and experience

between countries

• HPP contributes to technology

improvements by RDD&D

• HPP strives to place heat pumping technology higher

on the political agenda

rgBenefits of membership

The Programme is a forum for international co-

operation and the member country has the

possibility to work in international projects

National researcher, industry and other parties

can benefit from the project results.

The member country expands its international

network in the field of heat pumping technology.

The member country has influence on the work of

the Programme.

rgBenefits of membership cont.

The member country receives knowledge at an

early stage from e.g. project work.

The member country receives information about

activities in other countries, such as political

decisions and governmental policies, ongoing

projects and market development and trends.

The information is easily accessible to the

member country (e.g. the HPC newsletter).

The member country gets support from the Heat

Pump Centre and can disseminate national

information through the centre.
