The United States is the largest contributor to heat pump-related emission reductions, with 23 MtCO₂ avoided annually over the five-year period from 2019 to 2023. In total, heat pumps for space and water heating installed since 2019 avoid around 50 MtCO₂ annually. In 2023, global heat pump sales decreased by three percent year-on-year.
Avoided annual emissions from heat pumps deployment worldwide from 2019 to 2023, by country
(in million metric tons of carbon dioxide)
“Avoided emissions” refers to avoided emissions in one year from cumulative deployment since 2019 to 2023.
Supplementary notes
Heat pumps that deliver heat directly to households and residential or commercial buildings for space heating and/or domestic hot water provision. It includes natural source heat pumps, including reversible air conditioners, used as primary heating equipment. It excludes reversible air conditioners used only for cooling, or used as a complement to other heating equipment, such as a boiler.
