The future for heat pumps
image credit: Decarbonising the heating sector will rely heavily on the heat pump sector. This week's episode looks at how the sector is shaping up to the challenge
From FORESIGHT Climate & Energy, Watt Matters is a podcast all about the energy transition and the shift to a decarbonised economy.
The decarbonisation of heating is as important as any other sector in the energy transition but is perhaps sometimes a little overlooked.
The sector’s main tools to help remove carbon emissions from space heating are heat pumps and the rollout of the technology is quickly gathering pace, particularly in Europe, but regulatory and technological barriers remain.
The guest on the podcast this week is Thomas Nowak, secretary general of the European heat pump association. Nowak describes what the sector needs to see happen to fully unleash its potential, while he and Michaela debate the European Commission’s revised F-Gas directive.
Enjoy the show.
