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.
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.
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.
