Summary

New heat pump installations shall save approximately 200,000 tonnes of fossil fuel-based heat energy at the turn of the century: more than doubling the current contribution of heat pumps. This amounts to an additional heat supply in the order of 2.5 billion kilowatthours per year and requires the installation of approximately 100,000 new heat pump units in the next eight years. The benefit to the environment equates to the reduction of hundreds of tonnes of harmful substances caused by combustion processes.
