IEA HPT Project 64 Webinar on the safe use of flammable refrigerants

Hydrocarbons, and propane (R-290) in particular, are on track to become the standard refrigerant across several heat pump sectors in Europe. The shift is driven by the F-Gas Regulation and REACH, and by the low global warming potential of natural refrigerants. It also brings flammability to the centre of system...

Heat Pumps Move to the Centre of District Energy: How Electrified Heat Is Reshaping the Decarbonisation Agenda

The trajectory in this report is clear: as electricity decarbonises and networks shift to lower temperatures, the heat pump stops being one option among many and becomes the engine of a flexible, secure, low-carbon heat system, and the next decade of innovation will be measured less by the machine itself...
