Heat pumps help Europe’s buildings avoid millions of tons of emissions!

Europe’s buildings sector is avoiding more greenhouse gases than ever before thanks to record growth in heat pump sales in 2022. The 3 million heat pumps installed last year bring the total stock of heat pumps to 20 million. These help avoid 52.5 Megatonnes of greenhouse gas emissions per year – around the annual total of Greece.

France, which again saw strong heat pump growth last year, is leading the way in terms of avoided greenhouse gas emissions through heat pumps, at well over 16 Mt. It is followed some way behind by Germany and Italy at over 5 Mt avoided each.

2023 will be an outstanding year for European heat pump sales. The foundation is laid for continued exceptional growth and with it the benefits heat pumps bring in terms of climate action, energy independence and jobs. This is without a doubt the decade of heat pumps.
