Heat Pumps Are Coming for Coal's Industrial Heat Market
A new analysis argues that industrial-scale heat pumps are now competitive enough to displace coal in providing process heat for factories, a market long dominated by fossil fuels. With electrification costs falling and efficiency gains of several hundred percent, the shift could cut industrial emissions significantly, though adoption will depend on electricity prices and grid capacity.
Why now: Decarbonising industrial heat is a major climate challenge, and the prospect of heat pumps displacing coal has big energy-market implications
