Hydrocarbon heat pumps – a European perspective.

Number: 1308

Author(s) : PALM B.

Summary

The phase out of fossil fuels is absolutely necessary to reach the goals agreed on in the Paris Agreement and to limit the global warming to acceptable levels. An important consequence of this phase-out is the electrification of the heating sector. This will force a rapid increase in the use of heat pumps, both for heating in the built environment and in industry. In Europe, this transition is already happening and is being propelled by the necessity to be independent from Russian gas, which has so far been a main energy source for heating in Europe. This presentation will discuss the background and the development of the market for hydrocarbon heat pumps from a European perspective. New restrictions on F-gases, possible bans of all PFAS-substances and the response from the heat pump market in Europe will be covered, as well as some comments on the ongoing research.
