Abstract

The current energy security crisis is primarily a heating crisis. Space and water heating accounts for almost one-third of the EU’s final energy consumption, and unfortunately, around 62% of this demand is still met by fossil fuels. In this context, heat pumps, geothermal energy, and other renewable energy sources emerge as crucial technologies offering effective solutions to enhance energy efficiency and decrease dependence on fossil fuels as well as to achieve the EU energy and climate goals. This article focuses on the analysis of the potential and opportunities of using heat pumps and geothermal energy in conventional heating systems and district heating networks. This topic requires an in-depth analysis of the current state, challenges, benefits, and prospects of these technologies in the EU market. By examining the possibilities for wider adoption and discussing the associated factors, the article aims to provide valuable insights into and recommendations for the advancement of heat pumps and geothermal energy in the EU, along with the presentation of some case studies in this field.

热泵和地热能融入传统系统和电网的更大潜力分析

当前的能源安全危机主要是供暖危机。空间和水加热几乎占欧盟最终能源消耗的三分之一，不幸的是，其中约 62% 的需求仍由化石燃料来满足。在这种情况下，热泵、地热能和其他可再生能源成为关键技术，为提高能源效率、减少对化石燃料的依赖以及实现欧盟能源和气候目标提供了有效的解决方案。本文重点分析在传统供热系统和区域供热网络中使用热泵和地热能的潜力和机遇。该主题要求对这些技术在欧盟市场的现状、挑战、优势和前景进行深入分析。通过研究更广泛采用的可能性并讨论相关因素，文章旨在为热泵和地热能在欧盟的发展提供有价值的见解和建议，同时介绍该领域的一些案例研究。
