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. They therefore reduce dependence on imported energy from unreliable partners, stabilise costs for consumers and industry, and strengthen Europe’s industrial base.

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.
