Europe to end fossil fuel heating by 2050
Heating is one of the EU’s most energy-intensive sectors: 64% of the total energy consumed in the EU is used for heating
space and water*. If Ecodesign and energy labelling is set to deliver a third of the EU’s 2050 climate-neutral target, the
European Commission must also put heating on the right path by phasing out fossil fuel boilers beyond 2030.

Carrier’s commercial heating vision

In order to support the EU 2030 target of a 55% reduction in greenhouse gas emissions and the EU 2050 carbon neutral
target, the commercial heating industry in Europe will need to make a major technology transition from fossil fuel boilers to
more sustainable heating systems.

 Commercial heat pumps
Individual heat pumps are one of the most efficient appliances on the market for heating residential developments or
buildings. Reversible air source heat pumps are the best solution for sustainable cooling and heating in buildings.
Carrier already offers a complete range of heat pumps for commercial applications up to 82°C.

Industrial heat pumps for the district

heating and process heating sectors
Forecasts indicate that 84% of European citizens will live in urban areas in 2050 *. Future heating solutions must therefore
prioritise urban applications for greater environmental benefits. The EU Heat Roadmap considers increasing smart heating
and cooling networks to 30% by 2030 and to 50% by 2050 as essential milestones in achieving ambitious decarbonisation
goals.
In 2020, hundreds of large industrial heat pumps capable of producing hot water at 70°C, 90°C or higher temperatures were
installed in various European district heating zones. A new generation of very high temperature heat pumps capable of
producing hot water up to 120°C will also be rolled out to replace fossil fuel industrial boilers and steam boilers for process
heating in various industries including food, drying processes, biogas processes and chemical plants. These large industrial
heat pumps use renewable energy from water or the ground, as well as waste energy from buildings, processes and data
centres to provide heating. Heat pumps have helped to drastically reduce CO2 emissions in these projects, as the electricity
comes from renewable sources and saves millions of litres of fuel every year. Most owners are eligible for financial aid, which
can cover up to 60% of the amount of the distribution network in some countries.
Carrier is the European leader in the supply of commercial heat pumps above 50 kW. Several years ago, Carrier entered the
specific market of large-scale industrial heat pumps capable of delivering hot water up to 85°C using ultra-low GWP HFO-
1234ze refrigerant for district heating applications, selling over 200 units and receiving ACR Awards in 2022 for a prestigious
decarbonisation project in London.
Carrier will continue to invest massively in the development of next-generation heat pumps benefiting from the latest
technology innovations: ultra-low GWP and natural refrigerants, premium efficiency and very high temperatures up to 120°C.
