The campaign, titled ‘Heat for a Greener Future’, is a collaborative effort between the UK government, industry leaders, and environmental organizations. It seeks to highlight the importance of low-carbon heat technologies in achieving the UK’s ambitious climate targets.

Campaign Organisers: Virtual Roundtable Events on Heat Pump Industry Campaign organisers have announced a series of virtual roundtable events and discussions aimed at exploring the latest developments in the heat pump industry. These events are designed to foster dialogue among industry stakeholders, policymakers, and experts to address critical challenges and opportunities in the sector.

The event is part of Panasonic’s ongoing efforts to promote sustainable energy solutions. Heat pumps, which are a key component of these solutions, work by transferring heat from one place to another, rather than generating heat directly.

Heat pumps are a key part of the government’s plan to cut carbon emissions by 78% by 2035. The technology, which uses electricity to extract heat from the air, ground, or water, is seen as a crucial component in the transition to a low-carbon economy. However, there are concerns about the practicality and efficiency of heat pumps, particularly in colder climates.

The heat pump system is a complex assembly of various components, each playing a crucial role in its overall functionality. The system’s lifespan can be significantly extended through regular maintenance and servicing.

A ground-source heat pump, which is more expensive, can cost between £15,000 and £25,000. The cost of installation also depends on the size of the property and the complexity of the system. For example, a larger property may require more components and a more complex system, which could increase the cost.
