EXECUTIVE SUMMARY RECOMMENDATIONS The supply-side interviews conducted for the GHP Roadmap revealed the following key findings: building the business case remains the biggest challenge the supply side is resource constrained technology developers and manufacturers fear that the “electrify everything” consumer and policy trends will negatively impact the role of natural gas products in the future there is low product uptake for commercialized products and very limited support from LDCs the supply side is focused on building the minimal viable product LDC Supply-Side Support Recommendations The supply side requires LDC support to showcase a commitment to the technology and thereby prove the business case for GHPs. This can be demonstrated through executive-level letters of support delivered to manufacturers and technology developers, and by providing market data, such as economic analysis, market characteristics, penetration rates and LDC characteristics so they understand the market opportunity. Further, LDCs can showcase their dedication to accelerating the GHP market by investing human and/or financial resources to assist the supply side in overcoming resource constraints. This support may come in the form of performing market research, advocacy, tracking policy and regulatory affairs, supporting research and development (R&D), and/or conducting product testing and demonstration projects. Demonstration project opportunities There are several immediate demonstration project opportunities currently in the planning stages including 1) an expansive residential Gas Heat Pump Water Heater (GHPWH) demonstration and product assessment project with SMTI; and 2) a scaled-up demonstration of a residential combined space and water heating system with SMTI involving multiple sponsors. Additional recommended opportunities for targeted R&D projects and product demonstrations include: Developing and demonstrating emerging thermal- compression-based GHPs, including those under development by Thermolift in the U.S. and boostHEAT in the EU Advancing sorption-based GHP cost-effectiveness and product maturity, focusing on residential space- and water-heating applications (Robur K18, Ariston, SaltX and other EU-based suppliers) and commercial water-heating applications where hybrid installations and utilization of “free cooling” is economical (Robur, SMTI) In the realm of vapor compression (engine-drive) GHPs, establishing a viable value proposition for commercial VRF products available domestically and internationally, and emerging packaged HVAC products (e.g., RTUs) that are based on higher volume products in Asia. These activities would include undergoing targeted demonstrations in traditional and emerging (e.g. indoor agriculture) markets; socializing commercial- sized GHP technologies with the architectural, design, and engineering communities; and developing simulation-ready GHP modeling tools. Additionally, these activities would require increasing overall coordination with GHP manufacturers, specifically Asian vendors. Presented by: Brio and GTI 7 Given their ability to scale down in size cost-effectively, sorption technologies, such as those developed by SMTI, are the most suitable for residential water heating. Sorption technologies applied as combi-systems are also likely the most cost-effective option, while thermal compression technologies, such as those developed by Thermolift and boostHEAT, can have incrementally higher performance in all aspects.PDF Image | GAS HEAT PUMP TECHNOLOGY AND MARKET ROADMAP
