RENEWABLE HEATING AND COOLING: THE KEY TO A LARGE CONTRIBUTION OF RENEWABLE ENERGY
Heating and cooling in the industrial, commercial, and domestic sectors constitute around 40-50％ of global final energy demand. Renewable energy heating and cooling (REHC) technologies offer an important alternative to conventional fuels to fulfill these demands. As a joint project of the International Energy Agency (IEA) Renewable Energy Technology Deployment Program and the IEA Renewable Energy Unit, this paper presents an up-to-date review of the status of available REHC technologies including a delineation of cost. Some solar thermal, geothermal, and biomass heating technologies are already cost-competitive with conventional technologies fueled by electricity or gas. A broad market overview is provided. Political support for REHC has not been commensurate with existing support for renewable electricity and biofuels. In an examination of the limited support available, policies across 12 OECD nations are summarized. Financial incentive schemes are analyzed in terms of renewable heating capacity deployed per budget allocated. Examples of good practice policies for each technology are elaborated in each respective category: carrot-based incentives, stick-based regulations, and guidance-based informative schemes. Results indicate that a combination of carrot, stick and guidance based schemes, is the most effective in advancing the deployment of REHC technologies.
