00:00About 50% of all energy in the EU is used for heating and cooling buildings.
00:12This has an enormous environmental impact.
00:16The Tarnok heat pump can significantly reduce the CO2 output of heating homes.
00:31Tarnok is developing a one-on-one replacement for gas boilers in households.
00:37We are standing here next to our prototype of our heat pump.
00:42We have developed this over the past year. We have been testing this inside this home.
00:46The Tarnok heat pump has enough power and can deliver high temperature,
00:51so it can replace the gas boiler without any major changes to the household.
00:57The heat pump has an air inlet and an air outlet.
01:01It uses a centrifugal compressor to suck in the air inside of the machine,
01:05where it compresses the air.
01:07Then, due to the compression, the air becomes warm,
01:10and it can give off its heat to the heating system.
01:13Then it goes back through a turbine, expands, and the air cools back off
01:18and gets blown outside of the house.
01:20This system makes it possible to efficiently heat a home without the use of natural gas,
01:26thus saving a lot of CO2.
01:30The heat pump heats the home entirely using electricity.
01:33This electricity can be generated using solar panels or wind turbines.
01:44Tarnok wants to make it possible for many households to get rid of natural gas heating
01:49and go entirely green.
