BWP, German Heat Pump Association
For 25 years, the BWP, the German Heat Pump Association, has made it its mission to raise public awareness of heat pumps, their technology and the alternatives that already exist. The association is based in Berlin, where most of its active employees work.
The BWP: 25 years of campaigning for heat pumps
For 25 years, the German Heat Pump Association (BWP) has been actively promoting heat pump technology in Germany and raising awareness of it. As an environmentally friendly alternative to conventional heating systems, heat pumps are increasingly becoming the focus of public attention. The BWP has set itself the task of communicating the advantages of this technology and clarifying misunderstandings in the public perception.
Current developments and challenges in the heat pump market
Recent years have seen a significant increase in demand for heat pumps, particularly as a result of political decisions such as the new Building Energy Act. Despite the positive development, there are still uncertainties among end users. The BWP is therefore working hard to provide clear information and educate the public about the real benefits and applications of heat pumps.
The future of heat pumps: a focus on natural refrigerants
A key topic in the further development of heat pump technology is the switch from synthetic to natural refrigerants such as propane (R-290). Driven by the F-Gas Regulation and growing environmental awareness, manufacturers have already developed promising systems that offer a more environmentally friendly and future-proof solution for heating systems. The BWP supports this development and is committed to ensuring that the heat pump continues to gain in importance as a sustainable heating technology.
