    These stoves use electricity to create a magnetic field that causes the electrons inside pots and pans that contain iron to vibrate tens of thousands of times. This creates the friction and heat needed for cooking without the energy or fumes from gas stoves.

    How Heat Pumps Can Help Cities Lower Carbon Emissions

    S50 E6 - 4m 17s

    Heat pumps are a key solution to help reduce carbon emissions. Instead of creating heat, they move heat from one place to another and have a much lower carbon footprint. But can we make them accessible to all?
