Current Projects

FIT4MICRO – CLEAN AND EFFICIENT MICROCHCP BY MICROTURBINE BASED HYBRID SYSTEMS

The Fit4Micro Project aims to develop a highly efficient microCHCP (small scale combined heating, cooling and power) unit running on sustainable biofuels, which can be installed in buildings to provide electricity, heat and/or cooling, and can be integrated with other clean energy solutions. Fit4Micro has received funding under the European Union’s Horizon Europe programme. It started on 1 October 2022 and is due to end on 30 September 2026.

For more information see the Fit4Micro website.

Previous Projects

HEATLEAP – VALORISING WASTE HEAT FOR ENHANCED ENERGY EFFICIENCY

The HEATLEAP Project demonstrated the environmental and economic benefits of waste heat recovery systems – such as large heat pumps in energy intensive industries and gas expanders in gas distribution networks – by testing these technologies at full scale, together with a cloud-based IT platform for monitoring the whole system. HEATLEAP received funding from the European Union’s LIFE Programme. The project started in June 2020 and ended on 31 August 2023.

For more information see the HEATLEAP website.

PACE – PATHWAY TO A COMPETITIVE EUROPEAN FUEL CELL MICRO-CHP MARKET

The PACE Project supported the installation of more than 2600 fuel cell micro-CHP systems in residential buildings and business premises spread across 9 European countries, successfully demonstrating the market and consumer readiness of this technology in Europe. Coordinated by COGEN Europe, PACE received funding from the Fuel Cells and Hydrogen 2 Joint Undertaking (now Clean Hydrogen Partnership). The project started in June 2016 and ended on 30 April 2023.
