The Electrifying Path to Decarbonization \u2014 Part 1<\/h2>\n

By\u00a0Dylan Heerema<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

Furnaces, boilers, and other heating equipment\u00a0constitute one of Canada\u2019s largest sources of carbon pollution.<\/p>\n

In fact, the burning of fossil fuels in homes and buildings \u2014 mostly natural gas and heating oil \u2014 accounts for around 12% of Canada\u2019s\u00a0greenhouse gas emissions<\/a>.<\/p>\n

In order for Canada to reap the benefits of tomorrow\u2019s low-carbon economy, we must transition away from these dirty fuels and toward emissions-free alternatives. Fortunately, solutions already exist \u2014 one of the most promising being the electrification of heating.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>Electric heating technologies have been around for a long time, and in some parts of Canada electric baseboard heaters and water heaters are very common. These technologies are tried and true, and are also relatively clean, particularly in provinces such as B.C., Manitoba, and Quebec, whose supply of electricity is already low-carbon.<\/p>\n

However, these technologies are also relatively inefficient and therefore can be expensive to run, compared to popular options like natural gas furnaces. Thankfully, better alternatives exist today.<\/p>\n

Heat pumps<\/a>\u00a0are the\u00a0most promising alternative<\/a>\u00a0to fossil fuel heating for many kinds of buildings.\u00a0 They have been around for decades, but have only recently been perfected for use in cold climates like Canada\u2019s.<\/p>\n

These devices are much more efficient than electric resistance heaters, and can be used for space heating as well as water heating. Unlike older devices, modern heat pumps can deliver heat instantly and operate with very little noise, making them much more attractive to consumers.<\/p>\n

Heat pumps can also be run \u201cin reverse,\u201d allowing them to provide cooling as well as heating.\u00a0 As our homes and apartments become more efficient, with greater levels of insulation and airtightness, the risk of summer overheating increases, making the air conditioning abilities of heat pumps an important consideration for future-proof buildings.<\/p>\n

The initial cost of a heat pump system depends on many factors, including the size, age, and energy efficiency of a home or building. Central heat pumps for space heating cost more than standalone \u201cmini-split\u201d systems, but can take advantage of existing ductwork for forced air furnaces. While a mini-split system may cost between $5,000 and $8,000, a central heat pump may cost $10,000 to $12,000 for a typical home, making the latter up to twice as expensive as a comparable gas furnace.<\/p>\n

If a home or building is already heated with electricity, replacing electric resistance heaters and water tanks with heat pump technologies can lead to big electricity savings, and quickly pay back the initial investment. But replacing natural gas appliances with heat pumps is likely to result in smaller savings in many parts of Canada, where gas is significantly cheaper than electricity.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

The low cost of gas remains a significant barrier to the adoption of electric heating, despite the environmental and efficiency benefits.<\/p>\n

One trend in the building industry that may help to address this issue is the increasing popularity of extremely energy-efficient buildings (like\u00a0Passive House<\/a>\u00a0homes and apartments), which require so little energy for heating in the first place that a simple electric baseboard heater may be more than adequate, even on the coldest winter days.<\/p>\n

Reaching Passive House\u2013like levels of efficiency is feasible and increasingly affordable for new construction, but achieving this kind of performance is much more difficult for existing buildings.<\/p>\n

We know that many older buildings can realize big energy and cost savings through retrofits, and this should be encouraged. However, it\u2019s unlikely that carbon emissions can be lowered to the levels we need in a cost-effective way without also switching the majority of buildings from natural gas to electric heating.<\/p>\n

There are many benefits to electrified space and water heating \u2014 including the ability of a heat pump to provide air conditioning as well as heating, and the elimination of risks from gas and oil leaks. However, higher initial costs mean that these benefits and the carbon reductions that come with them are not enough incentive for many to make the switch.<\/p>\n

We need utilities, governments, and manufacturers to do more to encourage the adoption of these technologies and make them more affordable.<\/p>\n

In parts 2 and 3, we will explore some of these options.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
