Reversible heat pump: energy efficiency and developmental policy.

Efficacité énergétique et politique de développement des pompes à chaleur réversibles.

Author(s) : LE PEURIAN P., BERHONDO P., BLANC A. M.

Type of article: Article

Summary

The authors examine the following aspects: the global warming impact of the French kWh (i.e. 95 g CO2 equivalents); the global warming impact of the European kWh (i.e. 513 g CO2 equivalents); household refrigeration and the particular case of residential heating. This example shows that heat pumps can constitute an excellent means of reducing the impact of residential heating on global warming. In order to ensure that this finding remains valid for all electrical kWh production modes, heat pumps with high COPs should be promoted.
