Heat pumps, energy, and the environment.

Author(s) : HALOZAN H.

Summary

Heat pumps offer the possibility of reducing energy consumption and CO2 emissions significantly, mainly in the building sector, but also in industry. The potential for reducing CO2 emissions assuming a 30% share in the building sector using technology presently available is about 6% of the total world-wide CO2 emission. With future technologies in power generation and heat pumps up to 16% seem possible. Therefore, heat pumps are one of the key technologies for energy conservation and reducing CO2 emissions.
