At laboratory stage but promising:

Heat pumps without compressors: Fraunhofer advances electrocalorics

"Novel concept: solid-state #HeatPumps based on #electrocaloric materials that do not run on harmful #refrigerants and could potentially be more efficient than compressor-based systems." […]

Yesterday afternoon started with a fascinating lecture on "Electrocaloric regenerators and pyroelectric energy harvesting" by 𝗗𝗿. 𝗘𝗺𝗺𝗮𝗻𝘂𝗲𝗹 𝗗𝗲𝗳𝗮𝘆. It was an absolute pleasure!
