Brussels Marriott Hotel Grand Place

Join us at the Heat Pump Forum & Award 2023 – Advancing REPowerEU in a HeatBeat: the Heat Pump Accelerator on 27 and 28 September at Brussels Marriott Grand Place Hotel where new possibilities are explored for a sustainable future!

Europe needs a heat pump strategy and the industry an EU heat pump accelerator to speed up deployment and help Europeans get off fossil gas faster.

By bringing together high-level policy-makers​, major players of the heating and cooling industry, and influencers from related stakeholders the Heat Pump Forum’s aim is to act as a co-creation platform for the heat pump strategy and accelerator. 

As an event dedicated to widening horizons, the Heat Pump Forum brings together thought leaders, policymakers, industry giants, and influential stakeholders. It’s a convention that ignites dynamic exchanges of visions, knowledge, and expertise, all with the goal of expanding the role of Heat Pump Technologies in our society within the context of RepowerEU.

The European Heat Pump Association (EHPA) together with its members and partners is leading the change with an EU Heat Pump Accelerator, poised to transform the adoption of heat pumps across the continent.

The European Commission’s REPowerEU plan sets forth ambitious targets, calling for a doubling of newly installed heat pumps annually. EHPA estimates 20 million additional heat pumps by 2026 and 60 million by 2030, surpassing the current count of 17 million units. To achieve these goals, the European Commission is developing a Heat Pump Action Plan, scheduled for release by the end of 2023.

With the stage set for this game-changing Heat Pump Accelerator, EHPA and its members are committed to driving the heat pump revolution forward.

As the Heat Pump Action Plan and regulatory changes take shape, the future of heating and cooling shines brighter than ever!

Be a part of the Heat Pump Forum 2023, this transformative gathering, where we co-create the heat pump strategy and accelerate its implementation.

Together, we can achieve our common objectives for the planet and its people!

The Heat Pump Award

Just like every year, in 2023 we will recognise the most efficient, smart and sustainable Heat Pump projects at the local level in EHPA’s Heat Pump Award Ceremony. This year we will award 5 categories:

  1. Heat Pump City of the Year,
  2. DecarbIndustry,
  3. Decarbuilding,
  4. Lighthouse Heat Pump, and
  5. People’s choice award: the most popular heat pump project.

Watt's next webinar: the shift to an electric and efficient net zero industry

Industrial heat remains a major source of greenhouse gas emissions, accounting for two-thirds of industrial energy demand.  Electrifying heat through clean and efficient technologies such as heat pumps and the Organic Rankine Cycle - a means of converting low-temperature heat into electricity through an organic fluid - is critical for reducing emissions and improving  Europe's energy security.
