Decarbonization

Leading the Decarbonization Transition with Heat Pump Water Heaters

As governments globally strive to achieve carbon emission reduction targets, decarbonization is a term you’ll hear more often. Decarbonization simply means the act of removing carbon. Similarly, a decarbonized economy is an economy that produces net-zero or carbon-neutral emissions.

Why Carbon Dioxide Matters

Why is it so important that we reduce CO2 emissions and decarbonize the economy? First, let’s understand the carbon cycle and why carbon matters.

The Earth has a naturally occurring carbon cycle that attempts to reach a dynamic equilibrium between the atmosphere and the Earth’s biosphere and oceans.

How Heat Pump Water Heaters Contribute to Global Decarbonization

Simply put, decarbonization is the reduction of carbon emissions. The impact of carbon emissions on Earth has sparked heightened awareness and tighter regulations across the U.S. and the world. Because Heat Pump Water Heaters (HPWH) produce zero emissions and dramatically reduce net carbon emissions up to 75%, they will increasingly play a pivotal role in achieving global decarbonization goals.
