International Energy Agency energy analyst sales of heat pumps are growing rapidly worldwide
Recently, the "2023 China Heat Pump Industry Annual Conference and the Twelfth International Heat Pump Industry Development Summit Forum" was held in Nanjing. Yannick Monschauer, an energy analyst at the International Energy Agency (IEA), said at the forum that the sales of heat pumps are growing rapidly around the world. By 2030, announced energy and climate-related commitments will drive global sales of heat pumps to triple.
Yannick Monschauer also mentioned that clean energy technologies such as heat pumps play an important role in the decarbonization of industrial heat, especially in low-temperature processes. Heat pump sales are setting new records in Europe, where sales will grow by nearly 40% in 2022, with sales doubling in Belgium, Poland, Slovakia and the Czech Republic. In 2022, sales of heat pumps will exceed those of fossil fuel-based heating systems in the United States and France. He also said that in all major clean energy technology supply chains, China is the largest single producer, accounting for more than one-third of global heat pump production capacity. China is also an emerging center for heat pump innovation, and the number of special trains for heat pump technology has risen sharply .
Jiang Peixue, chairman of the China Energy Conservation Association, pointed out at the meeting that green and low-carbon development has become a label of this era. Heat pump technology is the best way to efficiently convert electricity into heat. It has significant advantages in energy saving and carbon reduction, and is in line with the development of terminal energy electrification. need. The development of the heat pump industry is of great significance to the energy revolution and the realization of the "double carbon" goal. He put forward three hopes for the development of the heat pump industry. First, he hopes to actively expand the application market of heat pumps in the fields of construction, industry and agriculture through policy research, publicity and promotion, etc.; second, he hopes to continue to do a good job in technology development and Research, strengthen quality control, develop and optimize heat pump products suitable for Chinese application scenarios, and continuously improve the quality and energy efficiency of products and systems; third, hope to carry out effective international cooperation to further enhance the global influence of China's heat pump industry, Use Chinese heat pump technology and products to promote the realization of the global carbon neutrality goal.
The promotion of heat pump heating and cooling in ultra-low energy buildings is an important technical measure to increase the replacement rate of renewable energy in buildings and to improve the electrification level of building terminals. Xu Wei, dean of the Building Environment and Energy Research Institute of the China Academy of Building Research, said that the United States, the European Union, Japan, and China have successively introduced incentive policies to promote the development of heat pumps and formulated detailed development plans; from the perspective of technological development , heat pump technology has been widely recognized and achieved huge application benefits; from the perspective of application analysis, heat pumps have been widely used in the field of medium and low temperature heating, and successful application cases have shown their better energy-saving benefits.
Zhao Hengyi, executive deputy secretary-general of the Heat Pump Committee of the China Energy Conservation Association, interpreted the "2023 China Heat Pump Industry Development Report" on the spot and pointed out that in the past year, the overall development of China's heat pump industry has been rapid, and the terminal sales of heat pump related products are expected to exceed 600 million yuan. billion (RMB). According to estimates, the heat pump industry is expected to provide employment opportunities for 400,000 people in 2030. Under the guidance of the dual carbon targets, the development space of the heat pump industry is very broad.
