Helsinki, Finland, is set to install the world’s largest air-to-water heat pump, designed to warm 30,000 homes while significantly reducing carbon emissions. Powered entirely by renewable energy, this groundbreaking system will operate at temperatures as low as -4°F (-20°C) and is expected to produce 200 GWh of heat annually, saving around 26,000 tonnes of CO2 emissions.
The heat pump, developed by MAN Energy Solutions, utilizes carbon dioxide as a refrigerant, enabling it to deliver heat up to 194°F (90°C). The project aligns with Helsinki’s goal to become carbon-neutral by 2030 and represents a significant step towards sustainable urban heating. The system is scheduled to be operational by the 2026-2027 winter season, providing both greener energy and price stability for consumers.
