Mission Possible: funding the renewable heat transition – full report
A new analysis commissioned by the Coolproducts campaign shows that up to a million more households could have been fitted with heat pumps had the EU and Member States spent on renewables the equivalent of the amount paid to fossil heating subsidies in recent years. The study, conducted by Trinomics, underlines the gap in political will between Europe’s renewable vision and the current reality by focusing on data in the 15 European countries that still provide some subsidies to fossil-fueled domestic heating systems.

How ecodesign will make the transition to clean heating happen
On 27 April, stakeholders and national experts will meet at a Consultation Forum that will be crucial in our quest to climate neutrality: EU member states will discuss new ecodesign rules for space and water heaters. In practical terms, raising the energy-efficiency threshold of these appliances could result in a de facto ban on gas and oil boilers, given that they are much less efficient than heat pumps and other renewable-based systems.
