Between 2023 and 2050, heat pumps are forecast to generate significantly fewer CO2 emissions in the Upper Midwest of the United States than other heating options. Nevertheless, geothermal heat pumps were slightly more climate-friendly than the air-source type. While geothermal heat pumps were expected to generate on average 0.57 metric tons of CO2 every year, a propane furnace would generate 5.19 metric tons of CO2 annually.
