Our science helps Europe achieve its climate goals.
@Jonathan_Volt works at our site in Petten (NL) on heating and cooling technologies. He and his team look at how we can transform our energy systems.

#DYK that about 50% of energy used in the EU goes towards heating 🔥 and cooling ❄️?
The EU is taking actions to increase the rollout of #HeatPumps, a sustainable and efficient heating solution.

The EU #RenovationWave strategy sets out measures across the renovation chain 🏗️ that aim to increase the rate & depth of renovations.
It covers further areas, such as
🔹 targeted funding
🔹 skilled workers
🔹 energy poverty eu.smh.re/0Wt2

"Why are electricity prices so high if renewables break generation records and are so cheap?" I have been asked.
The main reason: Gas still sets the price 63% of the time in wholesale electricity markets in EU27 & >90% in some countries.

Finnish district heating is electrifying so fast now, 200 MW of electric boilers and 1000 MWh thermal storage announced to be commissioned by 2026/27 in Helsinki hs.fi/helsinki/art-200001068…
🇪🇺 At least 60% of heat pumps sold in Europe are also produced here. And this is set to increase.
🏭 There are now over 250 manufacturing sites in Europe and the sector employs around 160.000 people directly.

ALT Energy poverty advisory hub international conference on 15-16 October 2024. Turning the tide: paving the way for energy poverty alleviation.
Burning activities in the residential sector is the primary source of pollution in 56% of the European cities we monitored.
Moving away from fuelwood use for household heating would help increase air quality and the life standard of EU citizens.

I have often said that decarbonising heat is the biggest challenge of the energy transition in cities, but this new report from @BPIE_eu makes the case that climate adaptation and resilience could be the most urgent challenge.

This is the largest heat pump in the world (60MW).
It is located in Esbjerg, DK and provides heating for 100,000 people.
The heat pump replaced coal-fired thermal generation using Denmark's electricity which is 2/3 from wind and solar.
Excited to represent @EU_ScienceHub at the #EUSEW2024 next week!
Will join an impressive panel to discuss energy poverty governance and share some insights from an upcoming report covering the impacts of the new ETS for buildings and the potential of the Social Climate Fund
