Supporting system manufacturers deliver sustainable and efficient solutions in a hyper growing EU heating market [17]

European regulations (F-Gas, European Green Deal) are driving the heating industry towards the adoption of ultra-low GWP and natural refrigerants and towards the transition away from fossil fuels. At the same time, efficient Heat Pump systems are needed to increase the use of renewable energy and reduce CO₂ emissions from the heating sector. 

Heat Pumps are one of the key technologies that will allow reaching the complete decarbonization of heating both in the commercial and the residential sectors. The adoption of these systems is growing at a high pace, their current demand being unprecedented. 

R-290, a natural refrigerant, is chosen by most of the industry and is considered a future-proof option, suitable for its very low GWP and excellent thermodynamic properties. 

Copeland has always had a leading role since the advent of Heat Pumps in Europe not only with continuous investment in new products but also with a strong and local manufacturing footprint to supply the industry in the most efficient way on the continent. 

Copeland’s mission to support the decarbonization of heating in Europe and to help increase the adoption of Heat Pumps through innovation continues with the development of a complete range of fixed and variable speed compressors with propane up to 200 kW in capacity. With best-in-class efficiency and the lowest sound power level available in the market, manufacturers now have numerous options to improve their systems.  

In addition, Copeland acknowledges that local supply is more essential than ever by expanding its manufacturing capabilities and local customer support to sustain the high demand for Heat Pump technology in the years to come.
