The official kick-off of the PV-2-Heat to Mongolia project recently took place in May. The overall objective of the project, which is being pursued jointly by German and Mongolian partners, is the development of a heating system suitable for the harsh conditions of Mongolia that converts regenerative energy generated by means of photovoltaics (PV) into heat (H). In addition, the foundations will be established to enable the Mongolian government to carry out a large-scale rollout of the system and thus to provide the population with a sustainable supply of electricity and heat via RE-2-Heat systems. Furthermore, the project aims to enable the transfer of know-how on topics like conversion or storage of renewable energy as well as sector coupling via international cooperation in a research alliance of universities and companies, and to establish and deepen partnerships on an academic and corporate level.
