Heat Pumps Are Coming for Coal's Industrial Heat Market
A new analysis argues that industrial heat pumps are increasingly competitive with coal for supplying process heat in factories and other industrial settings. As electrification technology improves and decarbonisation pressure grows, heat pumps could capture a significant share of the low- and medium-temperature heat market long dominated by coal-fired boilers, with implications for emissions and the coal industry's future.
Why now: Debate over industrial decarbonisation and the falling cost of electrified heat is drawing attention to heat pumps as a realistic coal replacement.
