Daikin Europe, a global HVAC leader, has expressed its support for the recently launched REPowerEU plan. The plan seeks to reduce the use of fossil fuels faster by increasing the use of renewable energy, amongst others. Daikin Europe also showed its support in the past for the EU Green Deal and the Fit for 55 package, and REPowerEU wants to speed up the process of decarbonizing Europe. The REPowerEU plan is another trigger needed to quicken the replacement rate of heat pumps and the achievement of EU decarbonization goals, in line with what Daikin already proposed in its four-step guide.
REPowerEU is a joint European action for more affordable, secure, and sustainable energy. One of the aims of REPowerEU is to reduce the use of fossil fuels faster by boosting energy efficiency and increasing the share of renewables and electrification. According to Daikin Europe, renewable technologies, like heat pumps, will play a central role in enrolling the REPowerEU plan, decarbonizing the EU and creating job opportunities.
Daikin has also shown support in the past for the EU Green Deal and Fit for 55. With REPowerEU, the European Commission has now set out this goal to boost the roll-out of heat pumps: 10 million newly installed by 2027 and 30 million by 2030. That proposal is fully in line with what Daikin has proposed in their four-step guide to decarbonize European homes: the replacement rate of outdated heating systems should double.
