@BrianSmith950 @mrpjevans not sure Octopus do ground source #heatpumps at the mo. Where is @mrpjevans ? I think I remember hearing that Wales has more restrictive rules than England, which is wild.
Could magnetocalorics hold an iron grip on refrigeration someday?

If heat pumps are part of the necessary green transition, then it is pretty clear the economic model for energy needs t change to make the switch a worthwhile project for households.... certainly they may be greener, but in the UK's economy, still experiencing an ongoing cost-of-living crisis, most households cannot afford to transit to heat pumps in the current market structure(s).

China includes heat pump flexibility (smart controls, storage) in its strategy for heat pumps. More detail needed to make the most of that potential:

Regulatory Assistance Project · Making sense of China’s new heat pump strategyChina has released a national plan to promote heat pumps, the country's first national-level policy dedicated to the subject. Jing Chen and Max Dupuy examine in what ways the policy offers support and which critical questions are left unanswered.

Researchers at the Chair of Energy Systems at the TUM School of Engineering and Design are investigating a heat pump for reversible operation with geothermal energy. The test facility "Geothermal Reversible Absorption Chiller" (GeoReACh) is part of the Geothermal Alliance Bavaria project, which addresses scientific questions related to deep geothermal energy.

«Environmental campaigners Beyond Fossil Fuels pointed out that Finland's coal exit was "near total", with two small plants elsewhere in #Finland still using some coal in their output and a third coal plant remaining in strategic use for emergencies or consumption peaks.»

The California Heat Pump Partnership announced the nation’s first statewide blueprint to achieve the state’s ambitious goals for deploying heat pumps, a critical tech for decarbonizing buildings and improving public health. #California #climate #heatpumps #environment #ClimateCrisis #ClimateChange https://www.canarymedia.com/articles/heat-pumps/yes-heat-pumps-slash-emissions-even-if-powered-by-a-dirty-grid
Canary Media · Yes, heat pumps slash emissions even if powered by a dirty gridInstalling a heat pump now is better for the climate, even if you run it on U.S. electricity generated mostly by fossil fuels. Here's why.
Anyone here upgraded thier electric home hot water tank to a heat-pump based unit? What kind of savings have you realized?
Ice source heat pumps, a possible change over for countries like the UK that have extensive gas networks.
