#NoRegrets strategy for heating and DHW:
- capture solar heat
- use heat pumps
- “a useful technology will surely be long-term thermal storage”
Tribute to Sir David MacKay, professor of Physics @Cambridge_Uni who passed away too early 5y ago.

@SolarHomeIRL @Chris_Hill321@Avonjohn77@AustriaSolar@gmartinheating@Ross1mckenzie@eric_hawkins9 In order to harvest all the Sun's energy available onsite, you will need a combination of #solar technologies: PV/Th panels, air/ground-source heat pumps... Inter-seasonal #TES is essential in some regions. Our project brochure and tools are presented on https://t.co/sr8IYsCrNz
96% of all new heating systems in Norway last year were heat pumps.
Last in Europe: the United Kingdom with 2%.

"A brilliant example is represented by SunPeople, a €500k micro project that has worked on tackling the most impactful source of CO2 in the EU and the UK: heating. It successfully tested an innovative energy service in Plymouth (UK) and Lorient (FR)."
Thanks @baratto_alessia!

Pompes à chaleur, les critères d'#écoconception auxquels être attentif :
- Durée de vie
- #Impact de la fabrication (matières, approvisionnement, transports)
- Contenu recyclé et potentiel de #valorisation
- #Réparabilité

@ThomasNowakEU an interesting article: https://t.co/cyTn8KAtw4
Is there a European equivalent for buying out old HPs refrigerants?
Or is this integrated into the recycling process of this equipment?
What is the HP industry trend regarding refrigerants with GWP close to zero?
Thx!
Could heat pumps replace gas boilers? This story sets our the issues, and @heatpolicyrich emphasises the need for change sin mindset: https://t.co/2ut3ueawRA - they seem like the best option but government needs effective programmes to accelerate adoption rapidly enough.
Octopus' plans to disrupt the heat pump market and deploy at scale are totally admirable and potentially game-changing. Total respect. When will the other UK suppliers follow?

"PVT capacity additions jumped from 46.6 MWth in 2019 to 60.5 MWth or more in 2020." - @solarthermal.
- In 2020 Netherlands, Tibet and France had most PVT capacity added in a year
- often used alongside heat pumps
- higher yield (3X) per area than PV

"From the point of view of a homeowner, the key barrier is the perceived higher cost of installing #heatPumps. I say perceived because in many parts of the country, heat pumps would more than pay for themselves over their lifetimes."

"On winter days with less sunshine, an 80-kilowatt condensing [gas] boiler will serve as the backup system."
Installing an enormous hot water storage tank and in the end not reaching #ParisAgreement targets?

"@OctopusEnergy has invested £10m to build a training center for heat pump engineers to get the typical price households will pay down to £5,500 within the next 18 months."
Next step: full-fledged energy service?

@janrosenow@EU_ScienceHub If we now step down to earth: installers typically suggest biomass if they do not want/can do more than a boiler replacement. Biomass heating has the same footprint than oil. Meaning: little efficiency gain, demand or pollution reduction.
