If Europe wants to hurt Vladimir Putin, it needs to change the way people heat their homes. As Moscow wages war on Ukraine, the European Union is scrambling for ways to reduce its dependence on natural gas piped from Russia, which accounts for about 40 percent of the bloc’s total consumption. Politicians’ immediate focus has been on diversifying supply. But how Europeans keep warm will play a key role in the European Commission’s strategy to get the bloc off Russian …

BELGIUM: Heat pump sales grew by a record 34% in Europe last year to 2.18 million units. Figures published today by the European Heat Pump Association (EHPA) reveal that the 21 countries surveyed sold 560,000 more units than in 2020. The 21 countries covered are Austria, Belgium, Switzerland, the Czech Republic, Germany, Denmark, Estonia, Spain, Finland, France, Hungary, Ireland, Italy, Lithuania, the Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Sweden, Slovakia and the UK The EHPA estimates that the total number of installed …

Heat pumps, considered crucial to climate-neutral heating, are another industrial sector in which nations compete over leadership. The EU learnt a harsh lesson from the loss of its solar industry, can it avoid a repeat of history? Heat pumps are considered two to five times more efficient than fossil heating, as they transfer and concentrate energy through the use of electricity. For now, European heat pump manufacturers are competitive, just like the European solar industry once was. The European Commission …

Jul. 12, 2022 | Heat pump sales grew by 34% in Europe – an all-time high, figures published today by the European Heat Pump Association reveal. Heat pump sales grew by 34% in Europe – an all-time high, figures published today by the European Heat Pump Association reveal. 2.18 million heat pump units were sold in 21 countries* – nearly 560,000 more than in 2020. This brings the total number of installed heat pumps in the EU to 16.98 million, covering around …

The Dutch government intends to ban new fossil fuel-centric heating system installations as of 2026, while introducing the mandatory use of heat pumps or connections to heat networks. Few countries are as reliant on gas to heat homes as the Netherlands. In 2018, fossil gas covered 71% of residential demand, while the liberal use of greenhouses in agriculture further adds to the situation. Thus, citizens have been hit hard by record gas prices. “The urgency of sustainability is great, and the …

Which Countries Are Winning the European Heat Pump Race ✔ Norway is winning the race, with one heat pump for every four people ✔ There are 14.84 million heat pumps in Europe ✔ That number has grown by 26% in the past two years Heat pumps are revolutionising domestic heating all over the world. Not only do these renewable machines warm your home with heat from natural sources like the air and ground, they also do so with an efficiency …

Sky-high gas prices have sent demand for heat pumps booming across Europe, exposing a range of bottlenecks limiting industry’s ability to deliver, including a shortage of skilled labour, as well as the need to simultaneously insulate buildings to ensure maximum efficiency. Heat pumps, sometimes described as reverse air conditioners, use electricity to concentrate heat potential and are comparatively more energy efficient than gas boilers. As Europe’s appetite for gas comes under scrutiny for financing the Kremlin’s war in Ukraine, Europeans …

The European Commission’s REPowerEU plan, published on 18 May, builds on the ambitious heat pump targets it set out in March. Those targets require around 20 million heat pumps to be installed in the EU by 2026 and nearly 60 million by 2030*. Expanding the use of heat pumps is crucial for reducing use of fossil gas in heating and cooling for homes, buildings and industry. In REPowerEU, the European Commission sets a target of doubling the deployment rate, and …
