Heating and cooling - Energy
...In addition, renewable heat sources such as ambient and geothermal energy, used mainly via heat pumps and solar thermal, provide low temperature heat (up to 200° C), working most optimally with highly energy efficient well-insulated buildings or low temperature process heat (for example, breweries and food drying)....

Energy system integration
...Energy system integration means creating stronger links between different types of energy carriers (such as electricity, liquid, gas and solid fuels, heat and cold), energy infrastructure and consumption sectors. This integration supports the optimisation of the energy system to deliver decarbonised, reliable and resource-efficient energy services, at the least possible cost....

Stakeholder forum III: heat pumps action plan - Energy
...Rolling out heat pumps is central to the clean energy transition and to achieving carbon neutrality in line with the goals set in the European Green Deal. All policy scenarios underpinning the ?Fit for 55 ? legislative proposals show a significant uptake of heat pumps in all sectors, notably in buildings. To meet the 2030 targets and deliver the needed fast decarbonisation of heat ......

2025 Competitiveness Progress Report: Opportunities to boost EU clean tech
...Considering the economic potential of the transition, the report also stresses the importance of increasing the EU's manufacturing capacity. While the EU is still well placed in several net-zero technologies, such as wind energy or heat pumps, further support is required to strengthen the EU value chains across net-zero technologies....

Energy label for low-temperature emitting radiators: Call for evidence ...
...Low-temperature emitters are designed to supply more heat from the same size radiator at low water temperature, in general because they incorporate forced convection. This makes heat pumps much more efficient, typically reducing their energy consumption by half (or even more) if all old radiators are replaced with new ones of equivalent size....
