Speakers Discuss Strategies to Accelerate Market Adoption of Heat Pumps Amid Slowdown

The panel discussion focuses on strategies to re-accelerate the market for heat pumps, considering their wide range of applications from single-unit homes to large industrial projects. The speakers emphasize addressing technical and physical challenges in existing buildings where implementing solutions like heat pumps is currently unfeasible. LG's mission involves providing access across various building types, while Vanessa discusses leveraging energy savings certificates and additional discounts to make new technologies more appealing amidst dwindling subsidies. One speaker highlights the importance of aligning with decarbonization goals by integrating industry expertise into broader climate initiatives and stresses the role of incentives for early-stage technology adoption. An audience question about electric boilers reveals that while they serve as competitors to heat pumps due to similar functionality, synergies exist between them, particularly in industrial settings where both can complement each other effectively. Overall, policies and incentives are deemed crucial for driving market growth and meeting decarbonization targets efficiently.

Our European energy system is undergoing a major transformation, moving towards decentralization with increased penetration of distributed energy resources (DERs) connected to the grid, such as PV solar, battery storage, and EVs. While DERs provide clear benefits such as limiting costs, reducing CO2 emissions, and helping to empower consumers, there are still challenges to overcome to develop DERs to their full potential. This session will focus on best practices and innovative projects, both from a grid and user perspective (e.g. energy communities) and we will discuss how the regulatory framework can be improved to facilitate the penetration of DERs and active participation from consumers.
