Beyond Heat Pumps: What’s the Real Recipe for Zero Carbon Heating?

In this episode of the Fully Charged Show Podcast, Imogen sits down with Johan du Plessis, CEO and founder of Tepeo, to explore how his company is transforming zero-carbon home heating. Tepeo's Zero Emission Boiler (ZEB) is a smart, efficient, and affordable alternative to a heat pump, designed to seamlessly replace a traditional gas boiler without the need for costly home upgrades. The technology itself makes perfect sense, but building a climate tech business—let alone scaling one—is anything but simple. Johan delves into the key challenges and what’s needed to accelerate the adoption of electric heating, from tax incentives for heat batteries to making electricity more affordable. He also highlights the crucial role of energy storage in balancing the grid and unlocking a truly sustainable energy system. As the world moves toward full electrification, Johan shares his vision for the future of home heating and explains why innovation in this space is critical for a cleaner, greener planet.  @fullychargedshow   @EverythingElectricShow  https://www.tepeo.com/ https://youtu.be/y_v0midqPDc?si=BjGugw917SAE79Mz Why not come and join us at our next Everything Electric expo: https://everythingelectric.show Check out our sister channel: https://www.youtube.com/@fullychargedshow Support our StopBurningStuff campaign: https://www.patreon.com/STOPBurningStuff Become a Fully Charged SHOW Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/fullychargedshow Buy the Fully Charged Guide to Electric Vehicles & Clean Energy : https://buff.ly/2GybGt0 Subscribe for episode alerts and the Fully Charged newsletter: https://fullycharged.show/zap-sign-up/ Visit: https://FullyCharged.Show Find us on X: https://x.com/Everyth1ngElec Follow us on Instagram: https://instagram.com/fullychargedshow To partner, exhibit or sponsor at our award-winning expos email: commercial@fullycharged.show Everything Electric LONDON (UK) - ExCel - 16th, 17th & 18th April 2025 Everything Electric CANADA - Vancouver Convention Center - 5th, 6th & 7th September 2025 Everything Electric SOUTH (UK) - Farnborough International - 10th, 11th & 12th October 2025 Everything Electric AUSTRALIA VIC - 14th, 15th & 16th November 2025 #fullychargedshow  #everythingelectricshow #homeenergy #cleanenergy #battery #electriccars #electricvehicles
