Project status
Despite the current COVID-19 situation, which is very challenging for all of us, the SCORES project activities are ongoing and the project successfully progresses. However, since some tasks and work will be delayed due to national and international restrictions, an extension of the project by 6 months is foreseen in order to properly conclude all tasks and activities.

We will keep you updated on the extension, but for now, let´s dive into the latest SCORES achievements and progress!

Innovation Agenda by RHC-ETIP
The European Technology and Innovation Platform on Renewable Heating and Cooling (RHC-ETIP), published the Innovation Agenda  - SRIA in November 2020. This document identifies R&I priorities to boost the market uptake of renewable heating and cooling technologies and thereby realises the Platform’s 2050 Vision.

Luis Coelho from Polytechnic Institute of Setúbal, partner of the SCORES project, is one of the authors of the document. Luis Coelho emphasizes the relevance that thermal energy storage technologies will have for the deployment of RHC in cities, districts, industries, and buildings, at small or large scale, to achieve the target of the 100% renewable energy-based heating and cooling (100%RHC) by 2050.

Social impact questionnaire
European Projects have always had a big impact on society. Today, EU programmes are implemented everywhere around Europe. And their impact on businesses and communities is bigger than ever before.

In order to collect the views of various stakeholders and identify their needs, habits and preferences related to Thermal Storage Systems, the SCORES project has created a social impact questionnaire.

Please take a moment to fill in the questionnaire, it takes less than 5 minutes. Help us to collect your views and identify your needs related to Thermal Storage.
