2025年4月，国家发展改革委联合工业和信息化部、生态环境部、住房城乡建设部、交通运输部、国家能源局等部门发布了《推动热泵行业高质量发展行动方案》(发改环资〔2025〕313号)（以下简称《行动方案》）。《行动方案》提出，力争到2030年，热泵生产制造和技术研发能力不断增强，热泵建筑应用面积和热泵机组装机容量持续增长。作为我国首个国家级热泵专项政策，该方案的出台标志着热泵在建筑、工业、农业和交通等领域的规模化应用进入全新发展阶段。 我国传统热力燃料来源主要依赖煤、石油或天然气等化石能源，化石能源消耗量大，碳排放偏高。热泵作为一种清洁、高效的供暖和制冷技术，可以整合空气、水、土壤、工业余热中分散的低品位热源，替代燃煤燃气锅炉或者电热炉供热，显著降低二氧化碳排放。在制冷方面，热泵系统的冷热一体化能力较之传统空调拥有较高的综合能效，适合年内冷热需求均衡的建筑场景。自《行动方案》发布以来，其涉及的诸多重要议题引发了广泛讨论。其中有一个关键维度值得深入关注与研究，即热泵灵活化、智能化运行的创新要求与实施路径。这一政策导向不仅关乎热泵设备本身的能效提升，更关系到热泵系统与电力网络的协同互动模式。 《行动方案》的政策导向  热泵已成为实现气候目标的关键路径之一。国际能源署2024年发布的… View Summary +

With roughly 129 million Americans living along its coasts, the earth’s ocean has long played a crucial role in supporting economic and personal activities. One activity that coastal states have been particularly interested in is exploring offshore wind farms. View Summary +

Europe has been paving the way to greater residential demand flexibility since 2018, and according to RAP’s recent survey, residential smart tariff offerings have increased by 250% since the energy crisis hit in 2022. Let’s look at how European… View Summary +

This week, China’s central government issued a national ‘Action Plan’ to promote heat pumps. The policy offers substantial support for heat pumps but leaves critical questions unanswered—particularly regarding the future of certain types of fossil fuel… View Summary +

       自《关于进一步深化电力体制改革的若干意见》（中发〔2015〕9号，以下简称”9号文”）发布以来，中国电力体制改革走过了具有里程碑意义的十年历程。在这十年间，电力行业在市场化改革、清洁能源发展、电力系统灵活性和可靠性提升等方面取得了突破性进展。这些成就不仅为构建新型电力系统奠定了坚实基础，更为实现“双碳”目标提供了有力支撑。站在9号文发布十周年的历史节点，我们既要总结电力体制改革的成功经验，更要准确把握新发展阶段面临的挑战。        过去十年里，在9号文的指引与大力支持下，可再生能源投资出现了爆发式增长，可再生能源装机容量扩张近4倍（由2015年的4.8亿千瓦增长到2024年的… View Summary +

Like the all-powerful genies of mythology, artificial intelligence (AI) seems increasingly able to magically answer our questions and potentially grant wishes. Policymakers and regulators are still trying to understand the nuances of this technology and its impacts to energy systems. View Summary +

Despite uncertainty regarding the disbursement of Inflation Reduction Act funds, do states continue to support efficient electrification through heat pump adoption? RAP and CLASP’s webinar series, “Federal Dollars, State Policies and Heat Pumps: The Future of Heat,” has been considering… View Summary +

As Inflation Reduction Act funds get disbursed, are states making the most of their policies and programs to deliver efficient electrification through heat pump adoption? As RAP and CLASP’s webinar series on “Federal Dollars, State Policies and Heat Pumps:… View Summary +

In Part 1 of this blog series, we discussed  our recently published model rule on emissions standards for space and water heaters. In the course of preparing the rule, we considered an important question: Are heat pumps cost-effective compared… View Summary +

Emissions standards remain a critical policy option that states can use to improve air quality and achieve climate goals, and since many larger sources of air pollution have been reduced significantly, regulating building emissions makes sense as a next step toward… View Summary +
