Decarbonising Britain’s heating Article

Heat Pumps

Heat pumps take ambient heat from the air, ground or a local water source and allow it to be delivered as usable warmth inside a property. With a heat pump, one unit of electricity can be turned into multiple (typically between 1.5 and 4.0) units of heat inside the building. With such high efficiency, the logic of using heat pumps to decarbonise heat is inescapable, as a central element of the switch towards UK-generated clean electricity and away from gas.
