Call
Detailed Call Description
The proposal should assess and optimize the requirements in terms of materials needed to produce the heat pumps and/or heat pump components.
Applicants should apply a ‘circularity by design’ approach and assess the sustainability of the proposed solutions from a life cycle perspective. Among others, they should estimate the carbon footprint expressed in gCO2e/kWh of heat and/or cold delivered.
The requirements of the final users and/or installers should be properly assessed (e.g., in terms of ‘plug-and-play’ installation, day-to-day operation, maintenance, space requirements, noise, integration with networks and/or other devices, demand response capability, etc.).
Proposals investigating heat pumps with a capacity >12 kW are expected to use refrigerants with 100-year Global Warming Potential (GWP) < 150 (timeframe based on the Fourth Assessment Report of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC).
