Research suggests that the industrial and service sectors, which account for 40% of final energy consumption in the EU, offer substantial potential for cost-effective energy savings. However, an under-investment in energy-efficiency is observed in all countries due to the persistent existence of barriers. One key barrier is that companies do not consider energy use as a contributor to their competitive advantage.

The overall objective of this project was to develop a new advanced solar cooling and heating product, using advanced heat exchanger technology and integrating a heat pump for covering peak demand.

Medium- to large-scale bioenergy utilisation for electricity and combined industrial or district heating is predicted to increase by 160% in 2020 compared to 2010, while carbon emission quotas are becoming stricter. Finding new ways to efficiently utilise cheap and currently unused feedstocks are necessary in order to meet these challenges.

Ανάπτυξη συστήματος μικρής κλίμακας το οποίο βασίζεται σε ένα λέβητα βιομάζας δυναμικότητας 40 kWth. Ο λέβητας αυτός παράγει την απαραίτητη θερμότητα χαμηλής θερμοκρασίας (80-120 ^οC, αποτελεί παράμετρο βελτιστοποίησης) και τροφοδοτεί έναν υπερκρίσιμο οργανικό κύκλο Rankine για την παραγωγή ψυκτικής ισχύος, θερμότητας και μηχανικής ισχύος (τριπαραγωγή).
