ParsNord joins THERMOCOOL — next‑generation thermal‑electrical devices for heat & power management

ParsNord is a consortium partner in THERMOCOOL, an EU project developing low‑cost, sustainable thermoelectric and ferroelectric devices (thermoelectric generators & coolers, pyroelectric/piezoelectric and electrocaloric modules). The project brings together industry and academia across Europe to replace critical/expensive materials, scale novel materials into modules, and validate five demonstrators — including in‑package Peltier coolers for battery and data‑centre thermal management, high‑efficiency solar‑thermoelectric generators (STEG), wearable pyroelectric‑piezoelectric harvesters, HPC cooling tests and radar receivers with electrocaloric cooling.

ParsNord contributes module design, manufacturing and demonstrator integration (STEG and TC demonstrators) to move technologies toward higher TRL and commercial adoption.

ParsNord joins 2D‑Paper — developing thermally conducting paper for flexible electronics

ParsNord is a project partner in 2D‑Paper, a Flag‑ERA / SIO Grafen initiative coordinated by Linköping University. The project combines h‑BN 2D materials and nanocellulose to create a sustainable, high‑thermal‑conductivity paper substrate for flexible electronics and thermoelectrics. The work runs 2024‑01‑01 to 2026‑12‑31 and moves the technology from TRL1 to TRL4.

ParsNord contributes material and thermoelectric expertise to scale the concept toward practical applications.
