This research aims to provide an innovative contribution to the reduction of fossil fuels and the consequent reduction of CO2eq emissions for each European region. Simulations have been carried out to replace fossil fuel fired heating boilers with air - to - water heat pumps, when allowed by favorable environmental conditions outdoor temperature, water temperature in emission systems, etc.). To estimate the potential coverage of high -temperature heat pumps in European regions, the energy profiles of buildings were considered together with the potential COP of heat pumps operating with flow temperature with variable weather climatic regulation. The electrification potential for heating buildings was estimated by dividing the 38 European countries examined into 179 territorial units.

Abstract
This research aims to provide an innovative contribution to the reduction of fossil fuels and the consequent reduction of CO2eq emissions for each European region. Simulations have been carried out to replace fossil fuel fired heating boilers with air - to - water heat pumps, when allowed by favorable environmental conditions outdoor temperature, water temperature in emission systems, etc.). To estimate the potential coverage of high -temperature heat pumps in European regions, the energy profiles of buildings were considered together with the potential COP of heat pumps operating with flow temperature with variable weather climatic regulation. The electrification potential for heating buildings was estimated by dividing the 38 European countries examined into 179 territorial units. The yields have been calculated in terms of energy savings and CO 2eq reduction.
