The European Commission estimates that by 2040, more than 80 million devices will be installed across the bloc. However, with higher upfront costs, heat pumps rely on power not being too expensive relative to gas. The industry and experts suggest that power should cost no more than two and a half times more than gas.<\/p>\n<p>So when gas prices surged, heat pump sales followed suit \u2013 only to drop when gas prices fell back down. However, a new report by the EU\u2019s Joint Research Centre identified the three EU countries where the energy price ratio favours heat pumps: Sweden, Bulgaria, and Portugal. In each country, power is at most 50% more expensive than gas\u2014a ratio favouring heat pumps, which operate three times more efficiently than gas boilers.<\/p>\n<p>Some countries stand out for their outlandish power-to-gas price ratio: Italy, Belgium, and Lithuania. Decades of installing air conditioners have resulted in a comparatively high share of heat pumps in Italy. These units provide cooling in Summer. As a result, one device for every 20 citizens is installed. However, power is four times more expensive than gas in Italy, so their use for heating in winter is much less attractive.<\/p>\n<p>Source: <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.euractiv.com\/section\/energy-environment\/news\/eu-report-pinpoints-three-best-countries-for-heat-pumps\/\">Euractiv<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>The post <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\/environmental-news-en\/5-532\/\">EU report pinpoints three best countries for heat pumps<\/a> appeared first on <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\">Vastuullisuusuutiset.fi<\/a>.<\/p>","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[22],"tags":[575,7016,848],"class_list":["post-130609","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-news","tag-environmental-news-en","tag-heat-pump","tag-sweden"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/130609","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=130609"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/130609\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=130609"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=130609"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=130609"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
