A2EP reveals a "hidden energy transition"
The Australian Alliance for Energy Productivity (A2EP) has released a report describing a "hidden energy transition". It says industrial heat pumps are part of an accelerating trend toward electrification.
Are industrial heat pumps driving a hidden energy transition that will change HVAC and electrical work?
Electricians and HVAC contractors may see more industrial heat pump and electrification work. The article gives little detail, so the practical scale of that demand is unclear.
Key takeaways
- A2EP has published a new report on a "hidden energy transition" in Australia.
