International Energy Agency energy analyst: Heat pump sales are growing rapidly worldwide
Recently, the "2023 China Heat Pump Industry Annual Conference and the 12th 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 heat pump sales are growing rapidly around the world and that by 2030, announced energy and climate-related commitments will drive global heat pump sales to triple.
Yannick Monschauer also mentioned that clean energy technologies such as heat pumps play an important role in decarbonizing industrial heat, especially in low-temperature processes. Heat pump sales are setting new records in Europe. In 2022, European heat pump sales increased by nearly 40%, with sales doubling in Belgium, Poland, Slovakia and the Czech Republic. In 2022, heat pump sales exceeded 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 the global heat pump production capacity. China is also an emerging center for heat pump innovation, and the number of special trains of heat pump technology has increased sharply. .
Jiang Peixue, chairman of the China Energy Conservation Association, pointed out at the meeting that green and low-carbon development has become the 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 construction, industry and agriculture and other fields 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 continue to 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 global carbon neutrality goals.
Promoting 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 improve the electrification level of building terminals. Xu Wei, director of the Institute of Building Environment and Energy of the China Academy of Building Sciences, said that the United States, the European Union, Japan, China, etc. have successively launched 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 application analysis, heat pumps have been widely used in the field of medium and low temperature heating, and successful application cases show its good energy-saving benefits.
Zhao Hengyi, executive deputy secretary-general of the Heat Pump Special Committee of the China Energy Conservation Association, interpreted the "2023 China Heat Pump Industry Development Report" at the scene and pointed out that in the past year, China's heat pump industry has generally developed rapidly, and the terminal sales of heat pump related products are expected to exceed 600 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 goals, the heat pump industry has a very broad space for development.
