Worldwide sales of heat pumps are set to soar to record levels in the coming years as the global energy crisis accelerates their adoption, the International Energy Agency (IEA) said in a new special report released on Wednesday.
The heating of most buildings around the world — such as homes, offices, schools and factories — still relies on fossil fuels, particularly natural gas.
Heat pumps are a hyper-efficient and climate-friendly solution, which help consumers save money on bills and enable countries to cut reliance on imported fossil fuels, according to the IEA special report ‘The Future of Heat Pumps’, the first comprehensive global outlook on the subject.
