Leading Companies Commercialising Heat Pumps?
Heat pumps can halve the CO2 intensity of residential heating while also lowering costs by c10-35% in some cases. This all creates an exciting opportunity for heat pumps in the…
Heat pumps: hot and cold?
Some policymakers now aspire to ban gas boilers and ramp heat pumps 10x by 2050. In theory, the heat pump technology is superior. But in practice, there are ten challenges….
Refrigerants: leading chemicals for the rise of heat pumps?
What chemicals are used as refrigerants? This data-file is a breakdown of the c1MTpa market for refrigerants, across refrigerators, air conditioners, in vehicles, industrial chillers, and increasingly, heat pumps. The…
Ground source heat pumps: the economics?
This data-file models heat pump economics, costs, energy savings and potential CO2 savings of a ground source heat pump (GHP), compared to traditional home heating and cooling options. A GHP…
Global heat pump sales by country?
…(absorbing heat), then re-releases that heat elsewhere by compressing and re-condensing the refrigerant (releasing the heat). Strictly, therefore, all air conditions are heat pumps. However, in this data-file, we are…
Heat pumps: a screen of providers and reviews?
This data-file tabulates our subjective opinions on c20 different heat pump companies, and our own preferences to use their heat pump on a future European residential heating project. Factors we…
Pump costs: energy economics of electric pumps?
…economics of electric pumps, which are used to move liquids in industrial applications, for commercial/domestic use such as within heat pumps, for demand shifting, for supercritical CO2, in geothermal applications,…
Costs of home heating technologies
This data-file models the costs of home heating technologies, such as boilers and heat pumps, as well as their CO2 intensities. Specifically, oil-fired furnaces, gas boilers, electric heaters and electrically-powered…
Decarbonize Heat?
…prices. Heat pumps can be cost-competitive, if powered from the grid, and our screen of leading heat pump companies is presented on page 6. Running heat pumps purely off of…
Waste heat recovery: heat exchanger costs?
Industrial heat comprises around 20% of global CO2 emissions, but around half of all the heat generated may ultimately be wasted. Hence, this model simplifies the economics of waste heat recovery,…
