The Tennessee Department of Environment and Conservation (TDEC) is partnering with Stone Mountain Technologies, Inc. to explore Stone Mountain’s production‑ready Gas Absorption Heat Pump (GAHP) technology and its potential to dramatically reduce primary energy use for space and water heating across a wide range of applications.
TDEC and Stone Mountain will host a webinar on February 25th from 14:00-15:00 EST titled HEATER: Results and Takeaways from DOE-Funded Gas Absorption Heat Pump Technology Field Trial. Register to attend the webinar here. A recording of the webinar will be accessible via the same link after February 25.
The webinar will spotlight a US Department of Energy–funded demonstration project underway at King University in Bristol, TN. The initiative, titled Highly Efficient gas Absorption Technology for Energy Reductions (HEATER), features a year‑long pilot designed to showcase the performance and carbon‑reduction potential of advanced GAHP systems. By combining technical innovation with real‑world results, the project aims to demonstrate how GAHP technology can lower emissions, decrease energy costs, and help institutions and commercial facilities meet their environmental and sustainability goals.
This is the second webinar session to be held by this project team. The first session, which took an in-depth look into GAHP technology, can be viewed here.
The HEATER project team includes TDEC, Stone Mountain, the National Association of State Energy Officials (NASEO), Oak Ridge National Laboratory, and GTI Energy with Utilization Technology Development.
