As of January 2024, heat pumps in Scotland generated less than half of the greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions of CO2 equivalent per kilowatt-hour than those installed in Wales. A heat pump operating at 400 percent efficiency in England released 62 grams of CO2 equivalent GHG emissions per kilowatt-hour. The carbon footprint of fossil fuel heating systems in the UK as a whole was also much higher than that of heat pumps.
