Just back from #ISH2025 in Frankfurt, the World's greatest fair dedicated to heating and HVAC ! It has been a great pleasure to meet our members exhibiting their latest innovations in #solarheat and #pvt there... notably GREENoneTEC Solarindustrie GmbH, Abora Solar, Calpak, and VENMAN SA. We were also honored to have the opportunity to organise meetings with European Commission representatives on this occasion from the Directorate General on Energy, driving the EU policy framework for better regulatory conditions for the uptake of Renewables. Thank you to Niels Ladefoged, Silvia Rezessy and in particular to Philippe Riviere for the quality time taken to meet our members and learn from their experience "on the ground". In particular, we discussed: - 📈 Latest market trends, dynamics between the 4 market segments that #solarheat can support - 🏦 Opportunities that lie ahead with the implementation of the Fit for 55 package, (notably with the #solarmandate in the Energy Performance of Buildings Directive) - 👷 The need for adequate skilled workers/installers to do a proper job for the sizing of installation and for their maintenance - 🤝 The greater synergies that could/should be promoted so that industry players could offer optimal, "system solutions" integrating the best of all technologies (eg solar heat/PVT, PV, heat pumps, and storage), leading to energy efficiencies, more affordable and predictable costs (and savings) and optimal savings for the end-users during the whole life of such systems... - 👨🏭 We also talked EU-based manufacturing (our pride in Solar Heat !), supply chains, worldwide exports experiences, but also how challenging it can be for industries to cope with very varying demands from one year to the next... and the need for greater market predictability. - 📲 We talked about the need to embrace digitalisation, "on time" visualisation of savings, R&D, the need to have adequate and customised criteria under ecodesign/energy labelling ... Great networking opportunities also with potential new members whom I hope to welcome soon in our network. Thank you especially to Ingo Lankmayr, Alejandro del Amo and Anne-Julie Mahaut, Panayis Konstantinidis and venos kioupelis and really happy to meet the President our new Italian Association SOLTERM ITALIA Associazione Italiana Solare Termico with Zeno Benciolini and Christos Travasaros from our Greek Association EBHE. Thank you also to Davide Sabbadin from European Environmental Bureau and your continued support to our technology 🙏 Last but not least... memorable souvenirs of an "interesting" train journey with my surprise neighbour Emilia (Teodora-Emilia) Motoasca ! "Les semaines se suivent et ne se ressemblent pas... the show must go on"

Today, the final conference of the CORALIS EU project took place in Brussels, with SOLINDARITY in attendance to foster collaboration with CORALIS’s partners. Both projects share key synergies, including: 👉 A strong focus on the crucial role of low and medium-temperature heat in industrial processes. 👉 A shared commitment to developing innovative industrial solutions that reduce carbon emissions and waste. It was a highly productive and engaging event with great discussions and valuable connections! 💡✨ You can check out the highlights of the event in our latest article 💻 https://shorturl.at/X15FX Centre for Research & Technology Hellas (CERTH) I CIRCE - Centro Tecnológico I TPG UNIGE I RINA I SoliTek I Centro Tecnológico Lurederra I DLR Institut für CO₂-arme Industrieprozesse I BOGE Compressed Air Systems GmbH & Co.

🚨 The #100RHC Event will take place at Comet Louise in Brussels (Belgium) on 7 May 2025. This year's conference will focus on "Collaborative Pathways to Sustainable Heating and Cooling". Join us to learn more about: ▪️ Opportunities across the renewable heating and cooling sectors ▪️ Best practices from European and national projects focusing on renewable heating and cooling ▪️ Success stories and challenges in RHC deployment ▪️ Views from the industry and research community This conference will convene stakeholders from renewable heating and cooling sectors, along with platform members and beyond. The agenda will include multiple interesting sessions and ample time for networking during breaks, lunch, and post-event drinks. Our event is organised in conjunction with the European Commission Horizon Europe Cluster 5 Info Day on 6 May in Brussels. A matchmaking session will be arranged within the 100% RHC Event to focus on RHC-relevant calls expected to be published prior to the Horizon Europe Info Day.
