Manifesto: how to speed up heat pump rollout

22 May 2026

In a world of geopolitical turmoil, fossil energy prices are spiking more than ever. Heat pumps replace fossil fuel-based heating and cooling.

From buildings and industry to cooling and district heating, heat pumps deliver efficient, locally produced energy at a predictable and competitive cost while boosting European manufacturing, skilled jobs and innovation.
