Ramping up Heat Pumps in Moldova: A Roadmap Regulating the sector
…to which Moldova prioritises heat pumps in building retrofits. Appliance standards and restrictions Standards for space heating appliances define the types of equipment that can be sold, setting minimum performance and environmental criteria. These standards have been in place in many European countries since the 1990s. By limiting inefficient systems, they play a crucial role in advancing Europe’s energy transition.Several countries have gone further by introducing stringent requirements for heating systems. Since 2022, new buildings in France can no longer be fitted with oil or gas heating systems, while Germany mandates that at least 65% of energy used...

Outlook for Biogas and Biomethane Introduction to biogas and biomethane
…through gasification of solid biomass followed by methanation, although this is far less common. Consumption of biogases is increasing. However, biogases are still a relatively small part of the global energy mix – representing around 3% of total modern bioenergy production. Biomethane use has increased at a rate of 20% annually over the past 5 years, although from a low base (it is currently around 1% of natural gas demand). Most markets rely on public incentives to provide support and certainty to biogas and biomethane producers. These include: production targets, supply- and demand-side incentives, and indirect support. * only available…
