The Heat Pump Forum & Award 2024 “Heat Pumps: competitive clean tech for all Europeans” highlighted the critical role of heat pumps in Europe’s industrial strategy, focusing on energy security and competitiveness.

From Europe’s energy leadership and EU policy updates to innovative business models, industrial heat pumps, and AI integration, the sessions covered a wide range of key topics shaping the future of the heat pump sector. Discussions also addressed the complexities of multi-unit buildings, including the need for better assessments, data, and training, alongside district heating strategies.

Beyond mere strategy, hastening the integration of heat pumps is essential for achieving a future of self-reliance, resilience, and economic competitiveness across Europe. Recognising the heat pump sector as a cornerstone of European clean tech highlights the importance of a positive narrative and clear implementation strategy to strengthen Europe’s competitiveness.

The Heat Pump Forum served as a dynamic platform for exchanging knowledge and strategies, emphasising the pivotal role of heat pumps in Europe’s clean energy transition. Organised by the European Heat Pump Association (EHPA), the event brought together over 250 participants to discuss key topics such as energy security, industrial heat pumps, and innovative business models.

A key highlight was the Heat Pump Award ceremony, celebrating innovative projects that drive sustainability within the sector. Alongside this, participants enjoyed valuable networking opportunities during coffee breaks, the cocktail reception, and dinner, with the evening rounded off by a live performance from Foxtet. Over 60 pre-scheduled meetings took place in the Networking Corner, with many more spontaneous discussions happening throughout the event.

On the first day, new data was launched showing that heat pumps are helping avoid 5.5 billion cubic metres of gas and reduce emissions from European buildings by around 5%. Despite these successes, heat pump sales have dropped by 47% in the first half of 2024 compared to the same period in 2023. What can be done to reverse this trend? Read the full press release.
