Heat pump sales fall because in 🇬🇧 (relatively clean) electricity is charged at 4 times the price of dirty gas per kWh….which is insane given renewables produce electricity at markedly lower cost than gas
Where electricity is priced more comparable to gas, heat pump installation rises (eg Sweden)

Fall in heat pump sales last year is a “lost opportunity” for Europe
“Without the heat pump, we don’t get away from Russian gas, or American gas, or anyone else’s gas.”
Sales fall driven by political uncertainty & changes to support schemes in key markets

The available outdoor space for air heat exchangers is much less.
Providing emission catalysers and recycling through the boiler would reduce the input heat and reduce emissions to almost zero.
