EHPA position on the EU energy security framework

EHPA position on the EU energy security framework

Heat pumps play a pivotal role in enhancing Europe’s energy security by harnessing natural energy from the air, ground, or water, requiring only a small amount of driving electricity.

Their deployment reduces Europe’s reliance on fossil gas imports for heating and cooling across residential, commercial, and industrial settings.
