EHPA Proposes Dedicated Heat Pump Partnership Under Horizon Europe 2028–2034
EHPA has called for heat pumps to receive a dedicated European Partnership within the EU's Horizon Europe research programme (2028–2034). The proposal would secure multi-year co-funding for efficiency gains, refrigerant development, cost reduction, grid integration, and high-temperature industrial applications.
EHPA has called for heat pumps to be designated as a priority area with a dedicated European Partnership under the EU's next research and innovation framework, Horizon Europe, which will run from 2028 to 2034.
A European Partnership is a specific funding instrument in which the EU, industry, research organisations, and national funders commit to a shared research agenda and co-fund it over several years. EHPA's paper asks that heat pumps receive such a dedicated partnership and be named as a priority area within the programme.
The association argues this structure would give the heat pump sector long-term, predictable funding for work spanning improved efficiency, new refrigerants, lower costs, grid integration, and high-temperature industrial applications. It would also signal that the EU treats heat pumps as a strategic technology.
