The Glide Path – How Many Heat Pumps Do We Need to Meet Our Climate Goals?

Green Energy Times Posted on April 28, 2021 by Michelle HarrisonApril 28, 2021

Free registration is now available – Do we need 100,000 buildings going off fossil fuel heating each year? 200,000? Let’s hear what the experts have to say.

2030 is right around the corner! The UN and the scientific community tell us that if we don’t significantly reduce greenhouse gas emissions by then we’ll have lost the chance to keep temperatures below a 1.5 degree C rise. Past 1.5 things get catastrophic. Sure, what happens between 2030 and 2050 will matter, but our actions between now and then set the floor for either hope or disaster.

How many fossil fuel heating systems do we need to phase out each year to reduce carbon emissions 40% in order to meet New York’s legal mandate? Experts Jerry Acton and Bob Wyman have been studying this question for years. Sharad Bharadwaj of E3 has been compiling data on this question for New York’s Climate Action Council. Hear a lively discussion that has crucial consequences for the geothermal industry as well as our collective ability to survive the climate crisis. Register here.

Also – at this session we’ll be announcing the winner of the 2021 GeoStar Top Job Competition !!
