Heat pumps are an incredible energy transition solution
One of the main tools to slash our global dependence to fossil fuels for heating and cooling is the mighty heat pump.Let’s see in this post the why and how.

Will global fossil fuels emissions really peak this year ?
The latest IEA annual World Energy Outlook offers some serious glimmers of hope, but a enormous task lies ahead. Now more than ever we need to roll up our sleeves and create the future we deserve.
The huge global potential of geothermal
Here is another renewable energy we little hear about… According to a new publication from the IEA, geothermal could provide about 3.5% of annual global electricity production, 3.9% of energy for heat by 2050. As the press release notes : ” there is potential to achieve at least a tenfold increase in the global production …
A look at the carbon emissions of electricity
I believe fossil fuels will be replaced sooner or later by electricity. This might prove to be a good thing as heat pumps and electric vehicles are two excellent energy efficient solutions. Thus, electric consumption is rising and is due to keep rising in the next decades. Having low carbon sources to generate electricity is very …
Why heat pumps are a fantastic idea
As Eurobserv’ER published a market barometer for heat pumps I thought it might be the occasion to have a look at this most interesting and promising technology which already accounts for nearly 9 GW th of capacity in Europe. With over 100,000 systems installed every year throughout the European Union, heat pumps can both heat …
Book Review: Sustainable energy – without the hot air
I finished reading this weekend a book I strongly recommend to anyone interested by sustainable development and energy as it is packed with figures and findings that are due to start discussions among CleanTechies. One of the main findings of this book is that electrifying our cars and installing heat pumps in our buildings would …
