The International Energy Agency (IEA) considers the technology as instrumental in combatting climate change as electric vehicles, since heating solutions generate some four billion tonnes of carbon dioxide per year, representing eight per cent of global emissions.<\/p>\n<p>The fact that Nordic countries, known for their harsh winters, are among the biggest users disproves the often-held assumption that the technology does not work when the temperature plummets. The myth has fuelled resistance across continental Europe. According to a study by the independent group Regulatory Assistance Project (RAP), air source cold-climate heat pumps can be up to twice as efficient as electric heating when outdoor temperatures fall to -30 Celsius.<\/p>\n<p>In France, heat pump detractors also argue they lead to higher electricity consumption, don&#8217;t work well in all conditions, such as poorly insulated homes, and require costly installation. Oil and gas furnaces remain popular in many countries. In Germany, coalition partners this year finally reached an agreement to ban fossil-based heating as of 2045. The state now subsidises heat pumps, which in 2022 were used in just three per cent of homes, and sales are beginning to take off.<\/p>\n<p>Source: <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.euronews.com\/green\/2023\/10\/30\/do-heat-pumps-work-in-winter-experts-explain-why-nordic-countries-have-installed-the-most-\">Euronews<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>The post <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\/environmental-news-en\/6-414\/\">Do heat pumps work in winter?
