The European Heat Pump Association (EHPA) is the leading organization dedicated to promoting heat pump technology in Europe. Headquartered in Brussels, EHPA was founded in 2000 with the mission to drive the development, adoption, and acceptance of heat pumps across Europe. The association represents the interests of manufacturers, installers, research institutions, and other stakeholders in the heat pump industry, fostering dialogue between industry, policymakers, and academia.

Objectives and activities of EHPA

EHPA’s primary goal is to establish heat pump technology as a sustainable and efficient solution for heating and cooling systems in Europe. To achieve this, the association collaborates closely with European policymakers to improve regulatory conditions for heat pump deployment. EHPA works to reduce legislative barriers, further technological innovation, and create incentives for the use of heat pumps in residential buildings as well as commercial and industrial applications.

Another key focus area is market monitoring and analysis. EHPA collects and publishes market data, studies, and reports that provide insights into the current state and future trends of the heat pump sector. These resources offer valuable information to its members for strategic decision-making.

Membership and network

EHPA brings together a diverse range of members, including heat pump manufacturers, research institutions, technical consultants, installers, and associations active in the renewable energy sector. This broad membership base enables EHPA to serve as a platform for knowledge exchange and collaboration among various industry players. The network fosters innovation and further strengthens the presence of heat pump technology across Europe.

EHPA’s role in the energy transition

EHPA plays a crucial role in the decarbonization of Europe’s energy system. Heat pumps are a key technology for achieving European climate targets due to their high efficiency and ability to utilize renewable energy sources. EHPA supports this transformation by advocating for the increased deployment of heat pumps and helping to shape the necessary political and technological framework.

Through its work, EHPA contributes to steering Europe toward a climate-neutral future and positioning heat pump technology as a fundamental pillar of the energy transition.
