Work Detail

Expression of Interest are invited for Feasibility Analysis and Site Identification for 5th Generation Networked GSHP System in Turkiye Publication Date: 01/23/2025 12:00 AM EST EOI Deadline: 02/12/2025 11:59 PM EST Introduction: The International Finance Corporation (IFC) is seeking expressions of interest from qualified consultants (firm) to develop a model for delivering a sustainable, affordable, and reliable heating and cooling system in Turkiye using 5th Generation Networked Ground Source Heat Pumps (NGSHP) technology. Background: Heating and cooling are critical components of global energy consumption, representing approximately half of the total final energy use. This sector surpasses both electricity and transport in terms of energy demand and is a significant contributor to energy-related CO2 emissions. The majority of heat production originates from fossil fuels, alongside a portion coming from unsustainable biomass sources. Despite a decline in the reliance on fossil fuels for heat generation, the sector remains a major concern for environmental sustainability. Turkiye has a complex energy landscape, characterized by a high dependency on imported fossil fuels, rising energy demands, and urgent need for decarbonization. 5th Generation Networked Ground Source Heat Pumps (NGSHP) are innovative heating and cooling systems that use low-temperature ground loops shared among multiple buildings. Unlike earlier systems, they operate at ambient temperatures, reducing thermal losses and requiring minimal energy for temperature adjustments. Their efficiency lies in harnessing renewable thermal energy, decentralizing heating and cooling, and enabling simultaneous heating and cooling exchanges between buildings. This approach minimizes energy waste, cuts carbon emissions, and reduces operational costs. IFC is developing a project aimed at creating a model to deliver a sustainable, affordable and reliable heating and cooling system in Turkiye using NGSHP for heating and cooling. Project Scope: The project will be executed in phases, with Phase 1 focusing on the development of a work package that provides a feasibility analysis and identification of potential sites for the deployment of a utility-scale (3,000-30,000 housing/commercial units) NGSHP system in Turkiye. This work package will be instrumental in the procurement of design engineering services and eventually construction services to deploy the network as well as in the pursuit of funding sources to support the continuation of this work.
