Let's make the West (of Europe) heat the best!

Charting Western Europe's path to 100% renewable heating & cooling

Join us for an insightful event hosted by the RHC-ETIP project, which will connect perspectives of Western European countries on their vision for achieving 100% renewable heating and cooling (RHC) across Europe. This discussion aims to highlight the diverse perspectives and strategies essential to realising this ambitious goal while addressing the significant challenges ahead. By adopting a tailored, region-specific approach, this event seeks to identify and tackle barriers specific to the Western EU region, leveraging shared climatic and social conditions. Through this targeted approach, participants will have the opportunity to exchange best practices, foster collaboration, and ultimately help pave the way for a sustainable and resilient future for RHC in Europe.
