Hotter Heat Pumps Could Help Electrify Industrial Heat (industrydecarbonization.com) 7 points by hannob 3y ago ↗ HN
[–] [dead] thx-2718 3y ago ↗ [flagged] [–] franckl 3y ago ↗ Heat pumps extract additional heat from a "cold source" like ambiant air. They do output more heat than resistive heating. [–] [dead] thx-2718 3y ago ↗ [flagged] [–] franckl 3y ago ↗ It says heat energy [–] thx-2718 3y ago ↗ It says it's outputting more heat energy than electricity it is putting in. That's physical impossible.
