This Strategic Research and Innovation Agenda (SRA) is the first of its kind for the Renewable Heating and Cooling (RHC) sector. It provides stakeholders with a structured and comprehensive view of the strategic research priorities to enable an increasing share of heating and cooling to be supplied by Renewable Energy Sources (RES). The contribution of RHC to the EU energy targets by 2020 and beyond will be determined by the availability of reliable, efficient and affordable technology.
