Heat Pumps in Kyrgyzstan: Ecology, Economy, and the Future of Energy – Interview with Farhad Yarullin
According to a World Bank report, the heating sector in Europe and Central Asia, including Kyrgyzstan, requires a transition to sustainable technologies. In the region, low-quality coal with a high sulfur content is the primary heating source, deteriorating air quality. This reliance stems from the lack of gasification, electricity consumption limitations, and low costs. Electricity, the second most popular heating source, accounts for 24% of consumed energy. However, Kyrgyzstan faces an energy crisis, with some electricity being imported. Natural gas, covering only 38% of the territory, is the most expensive heating option.
