Our mission is to actively contribute to a sustainable energy supply. The basis is our experience and expertise in the area of renewable heating systems. Renewable heat, especially solar heat, will be indispensible in realizing a fully sustainable energy supply. For this, it is also essential that the heat is available all year round. Compact thermal energy storage system can enable this. With this, solar heat will no longer be only available in summer, and a fully sustainable heat provision for the built environment will come within reach.

We advise companies, research institutes and public authorities that, like us, strive for a sustainable energy supply. We support our customers in their ambitions through increasing the knowledge about the possibilities of renewable heat, through stimulating the awareness and through research and development projects.

We are always well informed about the latest developments in the areas of policy, market and technology, through our active role in the European Technology Platform for Renewable Heating and Cooling (RHC-ETP), and Holland Solar, the Dutch trade association for solar energy, amongst others. Next to that, we are also responsible for the co-ordination (‘operating agent’) of Task42 of the Solar Heating and Cooling program of the International Energy Agency (IEA).

 

Dr.ir. Wim van Helden, founder and owner of Wim van Helden Renewable Heat, has more than 15 years of experience in thermal systems, heat storage, integration of renewable energy technologies and in technology roadmapping. Besides, Wim has ample experience with the initiation and co-ordination of national and international research and development projects in the area of renewable heat. Wim played an important role in the creation of international R&D programs for heat storage. After a career as researcher at the Eindhoven University of Technology and as program coordinator with the Energy research Centre of the Netherlands (ECN), he founded Wim van Helden Renewable Heat in 2009.
