If heat pumps are part of the necessary green transition, then it is pretty clear the economic model for energy needs t change to make the switch a worthwhile project for households.... certainly they may be greener, but in the UK's economy, still experiencing an ongoing cost-of-living crisis, most households cannot afford to transit to heat pumps in the current market structure(s).

Researchers at the Chair of Energy Systems at the TUM School of Engineering and Design are investigating a heat pump for reversible operation with geothermal energy. The test facility "Geothermal Reversible Absorption Chiller" (GeoReACh) is part of the Geothermal Alliance Bavaria project, which addresses scientific questions related to deep geothermal energy.

"Finland's [almost] last active #coal-fired power and heat plant shuts down"

«Environmental campaigners Beyond Fossil Fuels pointed out that Finland's coal exit was "near total", with two small plants elsewhere in #Finland still using some coal in their output and a third coal plant remaining in strategic use for emergencies or consumption peaks.»
