Accelerating #cleanheating globally is a key strategy towards meeting #climategoals. Drawing on our work in the European context, we are proud to have contributed to the updated version of the “Policy Toolkit for Global Mass Heat Pump Deployment”. The comprehensive guide covers key approaches from support to building owners and regulatory alignment to effective communication. New additions include chapters on equity and real-world policy case studies from around the world. Congratulations to everyone involved in the update at Regulatory Assistance Project (RAP) CLASP Global Buildings Performance Network (GBPN) Crux Alliance Agora Energiewende !

Very excited to share that our Heat Pump Toolkit has been given a makeover, updated with new case studies and was published today! 🔥 https://lnkd.in/e3mdGEbk Led by Dr Richard Lowes, the toolkit provides detailed advice on designing policies for rapid heat pump uptake. We find that a comprehensive policy approach is the most effective. That means tacking regulation, pricing, economic instruments together and not in isolation. So many heat pumps are needed to reach net-zero. In this case, according to the IEA, we calculated that based on current trends, we are falling around 2500 GW short. We added some new case studies in this version, so you can dive into specific measures taken by countries, and some states and provinces. All countries, not just those we looked at in the Toolkit, have adopted a rather piecemeal approach to heat pump policy. Not comprehensive enough. ALSO: We prepared a bunch of videos that give an easy introduction to how heat pumps works, their benefits, and the different policy levers. Please share with friends and family! https://lnkd.in/eUgZiuJT Thanks to our partners at Agora Energiewende, CLASP, Global Buildings Performance Network and all our Regulatory Assistance Project (RAP) colleagues and reviewers. https://lnkd.in/e3mdGEbk
