  • EHPA: Competitiveness of the HP sector in Europe

    Nearly half of the European Union’s (EU) energy consumption is used for heating and cooling. Of this, over 70 % is still from fossil fuels, which are mainly imported. Heat pumps are a clean and cost-efficient alternative for heating, cooling, and producing hot water, significantly reducing energy use and emissions compared to traditional heating systems and avoiding energy imports. Recognised as a key cleantech industry in the European Commission’s Net-Zero Industry Act (NZIA), heat pumps not only contribute to climate and energy targets but also increase Europe’s economic resilience and competitiveness. To unlock their full potential, EU policymakers must prioritise the development of supportive policies and financial frameworks. --> EHPA-Competitiveness-of-the-heat-pump-sector-in-Europe-Report

  • bruegel: European Union’s building decarbonisation plan

    How to finance the European Union’s building decarbonisation plan: By 2030, the European Union must reduce emissions from the heating and cooling of buildings – responsible for 13 percent of EU emissions – by the equivalent of the annual emissions of Slovakia. This requires a near tripling of the current decarbonisation rate. But the time gap between high upfront costs and long-term payback from renovation works deter consumers from investing in energy renovation. This policy brief discusses the challenges of meeting EPBD targets and introducing ETS2 smoothly. Source ASHRAE
