Fostering diffusion of Heating & Cooling technologies using the seawater pump in the Adriatic-Ionian Region

Programme 2014 - 2020 INTERREG VB Adriatic - Ionian

Date of latest update: 2025-10-15

Description

Description (EN):

The recent Heating and Cooling Strategy from Commission indicated that emissions related to energy used for heating and cooling of buildings can be significantly reduced with technologies which use renewable energy sources and have high efficiency. Taking this into consideration the SEADRION project aim to support the development of a regional innovation system for the Adriatic-Ionian area with the installation of 3 renewable energy facilities in the public buildings located in Greece and western and south part of Adriatic Croatia. These facilities are seawater heat pump, an innovation system that uses the thermal energy contained in a reservoir (sea) to achieve the cooling and thermal energy in the buildings which are close to the sea. The main objective of the SEADRION is to identify benefits and barriers associated with the use of this technology and to find a system solution designed to improve the use of the seawater heat pump technology and to make the building's energy self-sufficient and independent of fossil fuels. The main outputs of the SEADRION project are transnational seawater heat pump network to support sustainable development in ADRION region, science and technology cooperation between research institutions and enterprises to enhance innovation capacity of the heat pump sector with the aim to enhance their innovation skills, capacities and competencies and common strategy to enhance the use of seawater heat pump based heating and cooling in ADRION region.

Achievements (EN): Level of capacity of key innovation actors to be effectively involved in transnational actions for the development of a regional Innovation system

Expected Results (EN): Level of capacity of key innovation actors to be effectively involved in transnational actions for the development of a regional Innovation system

Expected Outputs (EN):

The result indicator of the Axis 1 of Adrion program is “Level of capacity of key innovation actors to be effectively involved in transnational actions for the development of a reginal innovation system”. Based on that, project activities of Seadrion are able to obtain manifold results, this because the working group consists of technical and scientific institutions, public bodies and their agencies, and they collaborate all together and study the development of a strategic and high potential technology for the Adriatic-Ionian area. The setting up of pilot plants, the monitoring of their performances and the feasibility studies for the most important users, will make it possible to structure and realize a dissemination policy of seawater energy. The main project results are: • Deeper knowledge about the initial conditions of sea water heat pumps innovation technology and defining development trough verification of its efficiency. • Better understanding of existing RES policies and strategies on transnational level; Identification of barriers and differences present on territory and outlook on emerging market opportunities (improvement of the framework conditions). • Joint implementation of pilot plants along area in question and fostering diffusion. • Deeper knowledge about technical and bureaucratic issues regarding the seawater heat pump. • Mobilization of stakeholders and other involved actors/target groups and enhancement of their competencies and skills.
