Helsinki, the capital of Finland, is undertaking a groundbreaking project with the largest heat pump in the world. This innovative device, powered entirely by renewable energy, will provide heating for 30,000 households. Additionally, the pump will operate efficiently even in extremely low temperatures, reaching up to -20°C, and contribute to reducing CO₂ emissions in the city by 26,000 tons annually.
Similar innovative solutions are also being implemented in Poland. In Wrocław, a unique 12.5 MW heat pump, known as “Wrompa,” is under construction. It utilizes heat recovered from municipal and rainwater sewage, providing 5% of the city’s annual district heating needs. Thanks to this technology, Wrompa will significantly reduce coal usage in heat production, cutting CO₂ emissions by as much as 35,000 tons annually.
Both the Finnish and Polish projects highlight the growing importance of modern heat pumps in the energy transition. These innovative technologies represent a key step toward sustainable development, offering efficient, environmentally friendly heating solutions that contribute to environmental protection and reducing the carbon footprint.
