Greenhouse gases are mostly a result of human activities. Due to increased industry, agriculture, and infrastructure, greenhouse gas emissions continue to rise every year. A significant portion of greenhouse gas emissions comes from heating using fossil fuels (e.g., oil, gas), while the emission of solid particles into the air is a result of burning solid fuels in heating devices (e.g., wood, coal).
Heating with fossil fuels also contributes to rapid environmental warming. Fossil fuels release CO2 gas into the air, which is one of the reasons for atmospheric warming. Due to excessive amounts of greenhouse gases, the Earth’s temperature rises, leading to climate change. Oceans and forests, due to their increasing pollution, are unable to perform the crucial function of removing CO2 from the atmosphere.
Heat pumps are the best solution to both problems, reducing CO2 emissions and decreasing solid particles because they do not produce them. Heat pumps are the most environmentally friendly way of heating.
