The extensive use of renewable heating and cooling technologies is therefore, in combination with a strong increase in efficiency, crucial to secure Europe s energy supply in a sustainable way.

9 Following the publication of the Strategic Research and Innovation Agenda for renewable heating and cooling Technologies (SRIA) in 2013, the RHC-Platform developed this Implementation Roadmap based on the more detailed Roadmaps of its Solar Thermal, Biomass, Geothermal, and Cross-Cutting Roadmap describes the top priority research themes and value chains with the highest impact on the societal challenges in Europe until 2020. It is obvious that having seen the potential of renewable heating and cooling technologies neglected for decades, there is a strong need to significantly increase the research budgets for the sector.

10 The panel Roadmaps and this Common Implementation Roadmap provide a good overview of the topics and the budgets energy systems will be far more integrated than they are today. The heating and cooling and the electricity sectors will be interconnected through combined heat and power plants, heat pumps, and power to heat technologies. Thermal energy supplied by solar thermal, biomass and geothermal will remain dominant in the heating and cooling sector due to high efficiency and cost competitiveness, especially by covering the heating demand in winter time.
