Europe has recognised the value of the heat pump
I was always curious to find out how things work and that is the reason that I studied engineering. I still remember how fascinated I was when I was first taught at college how heat pumps work.

The clever thing about a heat pump is that, as the name implies, it absorbs heat from one side of a barrier, like a wall, and pumps it to the other side.

This is how our fridge at home works or even better, the air conditioning unit you have at home. During the summer, it absorbs heat from inside the room and pumps it outside and during the winter, it pumps heat from outside into the house.

The magical thing about it is that it only consumes the energy needed for the pumping. Compare this, for instance, to an electric heater that releases all the energy (electricity) it consumes into the room as heat, giving us almost 100 per cent efficiency. A heat pump, on the other hand, operates at 300 per cent efficiency and more, simply because it pumps energy.
