Our message when speaking to the European Correspondent: Heat pumps are far more efficient than boilers. Even at 2x the price per energy unit, they cost less to run. Tax reform can ensure this price ratio, and double the EU electrification rate by 2040.

Electricity is over twice as expensive than gas in all the EU except Sweden and Finland 💶 The graph in today's piece in The European Correspondent shows why gas remains cheaper to use than electricity. Taxes on electricity make up 25–35% of household bills, while gas remains lightly taxed. 🧵👇

⚡️🔌 Our ‘war room’ as we wait for the Electrification Action Plan. Expectant and hopeful for an ambitious electrification target, an announced Heating and Cooling strategy, a Clean Heat Market Mechanism and more, all while supporting vulnerable households! #EAP #ElectrifyNow #EnergySky

♨️ Webinar alert! Under the Hood: lessons learnt for designing a Clean Heat Market Mechanism In this discussion, we'll explore how the EU can design a Clean Heat Market Mechanism drawing from lessons from the UK, and across other proven EU policies. Register here 👇 us06web.zoom.us/webinar/regi...

Today is #HeatActionDay, commemorated by the Red Cross & Crescent. This year’s theme: indoor heat. Workers and vulnerable people often spend long periods of time inside sweltering unventilated buildings, risking heat stroke and dehydration. In Europe, 60 000 died from heat in the summer of '22.

🔥 Webinar alert! Beyond Burning: Finland’s rapid shift in district heating 📅 21 April ⏰ 16:00–17:30 CEST Finland is transforming its heating system – with up to 26% already coming from non-combustion sources. 🧵👇 #EUSky #EnviroSky #EnergySky #GreenSky 🔗 tinyurl.com/ydppp8hn

🔌 Europe’s fossil fuel dependence remains a vulnerability. Diversifying imports won’t fix it: it just shifts the risk. Enter “independence kits”! Tailored combinations of clean heat solutions, from heat pumps to solar, designed for each household. 🧵👇 #EnergySky #EUSky

🔌💡⚡ EU energy ministers gather to tackle the energy crisis; while many measures might be discussed, the root cause lingers: for Europe to establish its energy independence, it is necessary to ensure decarbonised, renewable, and affordable solutions for households across Europe. #EnergySky #EUSky

👏 We’re happy to welcome @clasp-ngo.bsky.social to the Coalition! With 25 years of global experience, CLASP brings deep expertise in efficient appliances and equipment – aligned with our mission to cut energy demand, lower emissions, and make clean heating & cooling affordable in Europe.

With rising temperatures, cooling is becoming an essential service to all EU citizens. A scramble to install conventional air conditioning would place stress on the electricity grid, increase bills & make our cities hotter. Have a look at our latest paper: coolheatingcoalition.eu/wp-content/u...

Europe must reduce its reliance on Russian gas, but paying a $750 billion import bill is not the way. Decarbonising heating and cooling would mean getting rid of almost half the gas we import from Russia – and replacing it with cheap, European energy. #EnergySky #EnviroSky @tomvasseur.bsky.social

New report out: most NECPs are not ambitious enough on decarbonising heating & cooling. A few EU member states, however, are leading the way: Austria, Denmark, Finland, and Lithuania. Read more: coolheatingcoalition.eu/knowledge_hu... Research by @inforse.bsky.social #EnergySky #EnviroSky

Europe is the fastest-warming continent. As we continue to experience record-breaking temperatures, are our homes and cities ready for the heat? Have a look at the infographic we developed in collaboration with our members @caneurope.org #EnergySky #EnviroSky

🌍 Brussels turned up the heat—but we kept our cool. On 24 June, voices from across the sector came to our day of action on sustainable cooling. The message was clear: ➡️ We need passive cooling, natural refrigerants, 🍃 building design & clean district networks. #CoolSkills #WorldRefrigerationDay

The heating sector is central to gas use. Heating & cooling together represent about ½ of EU’s energy demand, with over 70% coming from fossil fuels. Have a look at our infographic for more 👇
