WHAT GAS TECHNOLOGIES HAVE ALREADY ACHIEVED Standard boiler 1980 1 kWh natural gas 0.75 kWh heat increase by 30% 1990 High efficiency boiler Condensing boiler 2000 1 kWh natural gas 1.00 kWh heat Source : Eurogas and GERG
TECHNOLOGIES ROADMAP Well-known and used technology Primary energy reduction / standard boiler European codes and standards + renewable energy solutions (thermal solar, PV,…) Micro-CHP with fuel cell Absoprtion gas heat pump (domestic) Gas heat pump (commercial) Micro-CHP (stirling) Hybrid heat pump Electric heat pump Condensing boiler Low temperature boiler Boiler Electric appliances 2020 1990 2000 2010
GAS HEAT PUMP : TWO TECHNOLOGIES TO COVER THE RESIDENTIAL AND COMMERCIAL SECTORS • Available on the market for commercial buildings and collective dwelling • In last development stage for individual housing Gas engine driven heat pump • Absorption heat pumps very high energy efficiency in heating : about 165 % for the aero thermal HP and 170% for the geothermal HP high efficiency : 150% for heating and 140% for cooling
MICRO-CHP : TO PRODUCE SIMULTANEOUSLY HEAT AND ELECTRICITY • Two technologies : • stirlingenginealreadyavailablecovers 100% of the heatingneeds and hot water, and 50 to 70% of the electricityneeds • fuel cellsexpectedfrom 2015 Total production efficiency (heat & electricity) = 105% A new way to monitor electricity demand via virtual power station Smart electricity and gas networks convergence
