Accelerating adoption: A network+ road map for residential heat pumps Open Access

Residential space and water heating accounted for 18% of all greenhouse gas emissions in the UK in 2021. Heat pumps are expected to be one of the main technical options to address these emissions and decarbonise residential space and water heating, but their deployment and use remains low. Whilst an estimated 1.3m gas boilers are installed in the UK every year, only 60,000 heat pumps were installed in 2023. In October 2021 the UK Government launched the Heat and Building Strategy. It aimed to accelerate the deployment of residential heat pumps installing at least 600,000 units per year by 2028. The number of heat pumps sold in the UK has increased since 2021 but more must be done to meet national targets. This report, developed by EPSRC Network+ for Decarbonisation of Heating and Cooling addresses this issue. It gathers relevant insights from across its activities (e.g. workshops), and associated research projects, including those funded under the EPSRC ‘Decarbonising Heating and Cooling programme and projects undertaken with support of the Network’s flexible fund as well as associated research projects. The road map demonstrates how the network+ is contributing to knowledge generation and cross sector collaboration. It collates insights at the forefront of scientific research on challenges of increasing deployment of heat pumps and outlines where further research efforts could be directed.
