Summary

Electrically driven heat pumps represent an energy efficient and environmentally friendly way of heating and cooling buildings as well as industrial facilities. Even though electricity in many countries is produced by thermal power plants, the associated CO2 emissions from heat pumps will generally be considerably lower than modern high-efficiency oil and gas fired boilers. Since there is increasing use of natural gas and renewable energy sources in power production and continuous improvement in the energy efficiency of heat pump systems, heat pump technology will become a powerful tool for reducing CO2 emissions in the years to come.
