IEA Heat Pumping Technologies TCP

The IEA Heat Pumping Technologies TCP is an international Technology Collaboration Programme operating under the framework of the International Energy Agency. Its mission is to advance the development, deployment, and integration of heat pumping technologies across residential, commercial, and industrial sectors to improve energy efficiency and reduce greenhouse gas emissions from heating and cooling.

The programme brings together governments, research institutions, industry experts, and market stakeholders to conduct joint research, share performance data, and develop technical, economic, and policy guidance. Its work covers a wide range of applications, including space heating and cooling, hot water production, industrial process heat, and waste heat recovery.

By providing evidence based analysis, case studies, and best practice recommendations, the IEA Heat Pumping Technologies TCP supports national energy strategies, informs policy design, and helps accelerate the role of heat pumps as a key solution in global net zero and electrification pathways.
