Heating solutions must be efficient and environmentally friendly. Among them, green gas heating solutions stand out. In fact, they combine energy performance and reduction of greenhouse gas emissions. This article explores in detail the different options available to those considering replacing or upgrading their heating system. It focuses on technologies such as very high energy performance boilers (THPE) and hybrid heat pumps (hybrid heat pumps). So, whatever the characteristics of the home, there are efficient gas heating solutions.
Summary :
Green Gas heating solutions: towards renewable and efficient energy
Green gas represents a significant advance in the field of renewable energiesespecially for solutions of domestic heating. In fact, current heating equipment, particularly boilers running on gas, are entirely compatible with green gas. This provides an unprecedented opportunity to harness the potential of decarbonization of green gas.
Biogas production and quality
Biogas is a form of green gas. Thus, it is produced locally from renewable sources such as:
agricultural residues, livestock effluents, and regional waste.
After a purification process, it reaches a quality comparable to that of natural gas. This allows it to be injected directly into distribution networks under the name of biomethane. Note that its impact in terms of carbon emissions is remarkably low. This is why it is particularly attractive for various uses such as heating, hot water production, and cooking.
Perspectives and Green Gas certification
By 2030, it is estimated that 20% of gas consumed in France might be of renewable origin. Moreover, the objective is to cover the entire national gas demand by 2050 thanks to green gases.
In this perspective, theassociation Coénove introduced the term “Green Gas” at the end of 2022, accompanied by a “Green gas compatible” label for equipment. This initiative aims to promote the use of this renewable energy. Furthermore, the national energy mediator offers an independent offer comparator, available on the site www.energie-info.frproviding a comprehensive overview of the options available.
Green gas heating solutions: personalized options for every need
When renovating homes, you must choose equipment that combines performance and profitability. There very high energy performance boiler (THPE) stands out for its excellent quality-price ratio. With controlled investment and maintenance costs, it represents an advantageous option. In addition, by combining it with an individual solar water heater (CESI), it is possible to significantly reduce expenses related to hot water, by 40 to 70%.
The hybrid heat pump: a dual-energy solution
The hybrid heat pump is a remarkable innovation. In fact, it combines an electric air-water heat pump with optimized power (between 4 and 8 kW) and a very high performance gas boiler. In addition, this dual-energy solution benefits from intelligent regulation. Thus, it offers the flexibility to use the most advantageous energy depending on the circumstances, skillfully balancing energy sources.
Gas heating in new buildings
For new constructions, the choice of gas heating remains a viable option. Moreover, in individual homes, the hybrid heat pump has established itself as the benchmark in terms of gas equipment. It symbolizes the convergence between energy efficiency and respect for the environment.
Current context of gas heating in France
It is important to note that gas plays a major role in heating homes in France. With 11 million homes heated with gasthis energy source covers more than 35% of the heat needs of French homes. Which places it on the same level as electricity. These figures, taken from CEREN 2021 data, underline the importance and relevance of gas as a heating solution in the national context.
The very high energy performance gas boiler: a revolution in heating
The very high energy performance gas boiler (THPE) stands out as one of the best heating solutions in terms of performance/price ratio. It is compact, with a modern design, connected and robust. In fact, this boiler has an estimated lifespan of around 17 years.
It is designed to offer optimal comfort while generating significant savings on heating and hot water consumption. Users can thus achieve up to 30% savings compared to an older standard boiler.
Thanks to its heat recovery technology, the THPE boiler ensures uniform heating comfort and constant availability of hot water. In addition, this performance results in a notable improvement in the DPE (Energy Performance Diagnosis) label. In fact, it comes following the replacement of an old generation boiler.
Connectivity and intelligent management
Connectivity is one of the most innovative aspects of the THPE boiler. Since it can be connected to a simple smartphone! Thus, it allows optimized management of heating scenarios, simplified ergonomics and predictive maintenance.
The user can adjust the temperature of their home remotely. Some boilers even offer a geolocation option to activate the heating when the user approaches. In addition, the connected boiler sends information to the maintenance company, facilitating remote diagnosis and anticipating possible breakdowns.
The Hybrid Heat Pump: innovation for ecological heating
The hybrid heat pump intelligently combines two energy sources: electricity and gas. Thus, it effectively responds to growing heating needs. In this respect, this solution is increasingly popular with both individuals and public authorities. Moreover, it is the subject of particular attention from manufacturers who now offer a varied range of air-water heat pumps, including the hybrid heat pump.
Operation and intelligent regulation of the Hybrid heat pump
The heart of the Hybrid heat pump lies in its intelligent regulation system. The latter optimizes the use of the heat pump module and/or the gas boiler according to external conditions, energy prices and peaks in electricity consumption.
For example, during mild temperatures, the heat pump’s electrical module recovers heat from the outside air to heat the home. On the other hand, during cold periods, the THPE boiler takes over. This then guarantees continuous and efficient heating of the home and domestic hot water.
Ecological and economic advantages of the Hybrid heat pump
The hybrid heat pump stands out for its ability to significantly reduce CO2 emissions (up to 70%) throughout the year. In addition, energy savings are significant for households. Since we see 30% to 40% energy savings compared to a traditional boiler. In this way, it fits perfectly into energy renovation projects, thus contributing to the reduction of the carbon footprint of housing.
This technology is particularly suitable for existing housing. In fact, it allows you to keep the radiators already in place. In addition, it offers the flexibility of a staged renovation, adapting to future insulation work.

In conclusion,
Green gas heating solutions represent a major step forward in the quest for more sustainable and economically viable housing. Whether through very high energy performance boilers or hybrid heat pumps. Indeed, these technologies offer a promising ecological alternative, responding to current environmental challenges while guaranteeing comfort and efficiency.
By opting for these solutions, consumers can both reduce their carbon footprint and make substantial savings on their energy bills. The future of domestic heating therefore seems resolutely focused on green innovation. And, green gas heating solutions are at the heart of this revolution, combining performance, respect for the environment and accessibility.
