Blue Heart Energy: new type of heat pump

Heating and cooling represent 50% of the EU’s final energy consumption and up to 70% of domestic energy use. A growing sensitivity among population towards environmental preservation and EU regulations are pushing sustainable solutions in the market.

Among them, heat pumps are considered to be the most efficient system. However, they have significant performance limitations and need to be combined with other systems to meet the full residential needs, becoming complex to install and expensive for the user. But this is about to change: together with TNO, the start-up Blue Heart Energy is working on a new type of heat pump that will overcome all the shortcomings of current heat pumps.
