Current investment trends show a strong commitment to renewable energy and energy efficiency. However, to achieve future climate goals, investments need to increase significantly, particularly in emerging technologies such as hydrogen, CCUS, and bioenergy. The IEA's scenarios highlight the scale of...
The UK government has yet to adopt a position on the long-term future of the gas system (DECC, 2011a, p. 34) but it has identified bio-methane and hydrogen as potential carbon-neutral sources of heat in future (DECC, 2012b). There is growing pressure from the gas industry for the ...

be achieved by replacing fossil fuels either by direct conversion of electricity to heat (e.g., electric arc furnaces in the steel industry or infrared dryers in the food industry) or by excess heat utilization primarily through the integration of technologies like heat pumps (HP) (IEA, 2022)...
In this paper, vari- ous investigation and assessments on heat pumps from research to applications are presented. The maximum decar- bonization potential from heat pump in a carbon neutral China future could reach around 1532Mton and 670Mton for buildings and industrial heating respectively, ...
The IEA recently released figures showing that global sales grew 11% in 2022, and heat pumps now meet around 10% of all space heating demand worldwide. The European Heat Pump Association reports that installations in Europe have tripled to three million over the six years to 2022, a 20% ...
Extending ESS capabilities becomes increasingly important todecarbonizationefforts and a clean energy future as renewable power capacity expands. According to the International Energy Agency (IEA), in 2023 alone, renewable energy increased its global capacity by 50%, with solar PV making up three-quarte...
Lars Ivar Nitter Havro, a senior analyst at Rystad Energy—who expects to see a global sevenfold increase in demand for heat pumps by 2050—said chip supply chains were still “feeling some of the aftermath” of COVID lockdowns. But he also warned of possible future problems, owing to de...
It was observed that grid-connected vapor-compression heat pumps/chillers (conventional systems) presented higher GWP impacts than other AC systems powered by renewables, which in contrast, exhibited higher impacts in some toxicity and resource depletion-related indicators. However, the share of GWP ...
Shelving of giant UK wind farm fuels concerns among developers in Ireland Mon May 12 2025 - 06:00‘My message is clear for Ireland, electricity is the future,’ IEA director Fatih Birol Electrification should be overriding priority for Irish economy, industry and society, says International Energy...
