New IEA report: The Future of Heat Pumps in China

Heating is a very important service to society that needs to be decarbonised further. Thus heating technologies chosen in China to reach carbon neutrality by 2060 have a major influence on global heating trends. Electrification through heat pumps can provide a key lever for decarbonising heating, particularly since sales have increased in recent years in China. The report released by the IEA on March 27 provides an overview of the status of heat pumps in buildings, industry and district heating in China, and examines potential to further accelerate their deployment.
