Why heat is a challenge in the fight against climate change, and what we can do about it
Heat has multiple applications across industries.
Where is heat being used?
On average, about 60% of home energy demand in the United States is used for heating, with that number reaching approximately 80% in Europe.
Fortunately, the required heat here is low temperature, so electric heat pumps and renewable electricity are making headway towards reducing emissions.

In commercial and professional settings, the use of heat is even broader. Beyond just supplying warm air and water in offices, heating also becomes critical. Think about the fast food burger you had; the roasted beans for your latte; the laundering of your bedsheets and towels at a hotel; the scalding steam and hot water that sanitizes everything from dishes to scalpels at a hospital.
Does your company have a climate change plan? Is it complaint with current climate laws? Why? Why not?
