The European Technology and Innovation Platform on Renewable Heating & Cooling (RHC-ETIP) will organise the 2017 edition of its annual event on 20th June in Brussels. The event "Innovation in the renewable heating and cooling sector" aims to discuss the conditions to increase innovation in the RHC sector in the EU as well as the role of renewable heating and cooling in the Strategic Energy Technology Plan.

The RHC-ETIP brings together stakeholders from the biomass, geothermal, solar thermal and heat pump sectors – including the related industries such as district heating and cooling, thermal energy storage, and hybrid systems – to define a common strategy for increasing the use of renewable energy technologies for heating and cooling.

The event will be followed by the Steering Committee meetings of five technology panels of the RHC ETIP:

• Solar Thermal
• Biomass
• Geothermal
• Heat Pumps
