STRONG IMPLEMENTATION RATE

• Strong history in development andapplication of heat pumps• Strong political focus onelectricification• Focus on being independent onfossil fuels• SupplyHEAT PUMPS IN DISTRICT HEATING
Installed HPs in District Heating in DK
https://varmepumpedata.dk/plants/• DH has been released from theirbindings to gas and electricity
production• DH has goal which is to phase out theuse of biomass in 2040 the sharetoday 50%.
• Strong implementation of heatpumps and thermal solar panels• Longterm goals

POLICY• 2050• Independent of fossil fuels in 2050
• Energy consumption covered by RE energy• Political agreements• 2018• Reduction of tax for electrical heating• Regional production Strong European coorporation• Increased implementation of heat pumps in households andDistrict heating• 2050: 100% climate neutral production• Economical incentive schemes for scrapping oil and gas boilers• 2030: 70% Reduction in GHG emissions compared to 1990

• 2019 District Heating released from bindings to power
production and to use gas as a source.

• Political agreements• 2012: Our Energy (Vores energi)• 2020 Climate law• 100% RE-energy in 2050

• Scrapping incentive-/building-incetive scheme for gas and oilboilers (RE-energy installers certificate)• 100% RE-energy in electricity production and heating in 2035

• Climate goals legally binding• 2030 Coal phase out.

• 2040 phase out of biomass in DH production (DH goal)• 50 % electricity production by windpower in 2020
• 2013 Ban of oil boilers in new build• 2016 Ban of oil boilers in gas and DH grid areas• Smart electrical grids implementation of smart meters
