Factsheet – Let’s end the sales of fossil fuel boilers through ecodesign
ECOS - as part of the Coolproducts coalition- has produced a position paper outlining the technical specifications needed to make the change, as well as a factsheet on why ecodesign will make the transition to clean heating happen!
On 27 April, stakeholders and national experts will meet at a Consultation Forum that will be crucial in our quest for climate neutrality: EU member states will discuss new ecodesign rules for space and water heaters. In practical terms, raising the energy-efficiency threshold of these appliances could result in a de facto ban on gas and oil boilers, given that they are much less efficient than heat pumps and other renewable-based systems.
The latest EU Save Energy Plan by the European Commission includes an important provision to decarbonise residential heating. The plan foresees ‘an EU-wide ban on “stand-alone” (non-hybrid) fossil fuel boilers as of 2029’ through the Ecodesign Regulation for space and water heaters.
We believe that applying a ban to ‘stand-alone’ fossil fuel boilers via ecodesign (one of the world’s most successful measures to secure energy savings and emission reductions to date) is of utmost importance.
