The decarbonisation of heating is as important as any other sector in the energy transition but is perhaps sometimes a little overlooked.The sector’s main tools to help remove carbon emissions from space heating are heat pumps and the rollout of the technology is quickly gathering pace, particularly in Europe, but regulatory and technological barriers remain.The guest on the podcast this week is Thomas Nowak, secretary general of the European heat pump association. Nowak describes what the sector needs to see happen to fully unleash its potential, while he and Michaela debate the European Commission’s revised F-Gas directive.Enjoy the show.If you have any thoughts or questions about anything that has been discussed in this week’s episode, you can reach us at our Twitter accounts:Thomas Nowak: https://twitter.com/ThomasNowakEUMichaela Holl: https://twitter.com/CitizenSane1Jan Rosenow: https://twitter.com/janrosenowDavid Weston: https://twitter.com/DaveW_FORESIGHT@WattMattersPod: https://twitter.com/WattMattersPodFORESIGHT Climate & Energy: https://twitter.com/FORESIGHTdkListen and subscribe to Watt Matters wherever you get podcasts.
