INTRODUCTION One of the European Commission's four main priorities as part of the new strategic agenda for the EU 2019-2024 is building a climate-neutral, green, fair, and social Europe, identifying "accelerating the transition to renewables and increasing energy efficiency" among the priority actions. Along the same line, the European Green Deal aims to build a carbon-neutral Europe by 2050. Considering the weight that industrial process heat has in the total energy demand of the European industry, the first step towards decarbonization in the industrial sector is increasing energy efficiency through the recovery and upgrade of waste heat. Despite the existence of heat pump technologies for heat upgrading, their wide deployment is not taking place due to various technical and non-technical barriers hindering the uptake. In this context, PUSH2HEAT will work towards overcoming these implementation barriers and push forward the market potential and business models of heat upgrade technologies by the full-scale demonstration of diverse heat upgrading heat pumps in relevant industrial sectors with high waste heat recovery and upgrading potential, as well as with a supply temperature range of 90-160°C. This deliverable (D6.2) intends to collect and present all communication, dissemination and exploitation activities carried out during the first 12 months of the project. This way spotlighting all the efforts dedicated to raising awareness, promoting the PUSH2HEAT project and its related results, and knowledge generated within and beyond the project, as described in D6.1, Communication, Dissemination and Exploitation Strategy. This is the first of four reports that will be also prepared on M24, M36, M48. 8 Funded by the European Union.

OBJECTIVES The annual report on communication, dissemination and exploitation aims to provide a clear overview of how all the communication channels and activities have worked together to address the initially identified stakeholder groups, as indicated in deliverable 6.1. EHPA, as the Work Package leader of PUSH2HEAT’s WP6 (Dissemination, Communication & Exploitation of Project results), has overseen coordinating the implementation of the Communication, dissemination and exploitation activities with the cooperation, direct involvement, and support of the other Work Package leaders and all the project partners, As described in D6.1, the approach to communication and dissemination is different depending on the phase of its development. The activities gathered in this deliverable follow the approach of Phase I. Phase I: Raise interest among key stakeholders aims at establishing a common project identity and raise awareness and interest regarding the project’s expected results and impacts. This report will be divided into three areas: - Communication activities: focusing on the promotion of the project’s activities and raising awareness of the benefits of heat upgrading technologies to a general audience, including decision-makers. - Dissemination activities: focusing on the spread of the technical results of PUSH2HEAT to identified target groups and fostering collaborations with other related projects. - Exploitation activities: focusing on ensuring the life-beyond-the-project of the PUSH2HEAT’s Generated results. 9 Funded by the European Union.

COMMUNICATION ACTIVITIES WITHIN THE 1ST YEAR An essential aspect of the project’s strategy is its communication plan, which aims to disseminate the project’s vision to a broader community of stakeholders. Throughout the first year, the communication activities within the project have focused on raising interest among key stakeholders, extending beyond the project’s internal communities to engage with wider quadruple helix audience (public authorities, industry representatives, academia and citizens). In line with the project’s communication objectives, a series of communication channels were chosen to ensure an effective engagement and awareness of the challenges, technical advancements, and economic benefits associated with heat upgrading technologies. 3.1 Visual identity A common branding was created by EHPA and approved by all consortium partners in M4 to ensure the immediate recognition of the project. This common branding includes the official PUSH2HEAT logo (Figure 1) and it has been applied to dissemination templates for Microsoft Word and Microsoft PowerPoint to be used for presentations and reporting and a poster and a brochure, part of the communication toolkit.

The first edition was sent electronically in April 2023. The first edition of the project’s bi-annual newsletter was sent in April 2023 to the PUSH2HEAT Stakeholder Network that had at the time of sending, 276 members, including Consortium partners. Figure 9: PUSH2HEAT newsletter template 6 other Newsletters are planned throughout the project, with the suggested scheduled below: - October 2023 - April 2024 - October 2024 - April 2025 - October 2025 17 Funded by the European Union.

Its purpose is to bring together stakeholders who have expressed interest in staying informed about PUSH2HEAT’s activities. The initial list was formed by leveraging the contacts within the Project Consortium partner networks, with individuals who had shown interest in receiving updates about the project. Additional members were added to the network through two main channels: - The registration form available on the PUSH2HEAT website, which was promoted through the project’s social media accounts. Figure 10: PUSH2HEAT Newsletter registration form - The participation in the first PUSH2HEAT webinar, during which attendees had the opportunity to indicate their interest in joining the Stakeholder Network. 18 Funded by the European Union.

The aim was to raise awareness and generate interest in the PUSH2Heat project. The video will be made available in the coming weeks. Figure 11: stills from promotional video. 3.6 Project Media and press releases - November 2022: o EHPA published a press release to celebrate the project kick-off.

Figure 12: Visual for Online Seminar On the 4th of April of 2023 EHPA organized an online seminar called “High-temperature heat pumps: heading towards the decarbonization of industry”. The event served as an opportunity to present the sister projects, SPIRIT and PUSH2HEAT, both aiming to address and overcome the barriers to industrial heat pump growth while exploring their use in the chemical, paper, and food and beverage industries. The webinar, in which the benefits of increasing industrial heat pump were discussed from a project and business perspectives, was attended by over 224 participants. The recording of the webinar is available here. The slides of the presentation are available here. As of August 2023, the video recording has had over 1000 visualizations.
