Summary

Cost optimal CO2 reduction strategies are identified using a technology and environment oriented linear programming-optimization energy system model. Various scenarios for the period 2000-2040 are calculated with CO2 reduction ranging from 20 to 80 %. A wide variety of new prospective energy technologies is incorporated in the model, including eg hydrogen, CO2 removal, nuclear, renewables, fuel cells, high efficiency appliances, heat pumps, etc. The paper discusses the opportunities for heat pumps to reduce emissions in competition with other CO2 reducing options, in relation to expected costs and efficiencies of electric, gas-absorption and gas-compression heat pumps in the industrial, residential and commercial sectors.
