Propane (R-290) for heat pumps?

Yeah, this thread started life being about Propane and Propane Accessories (HXs etc & safety),
but there hasn't been a lot of info posted lately.

So, I posted the link to the 2011 Annex 32 Reports,
if anyone was interested in what they were doing in Norway
with Propane heat pumps these days..

Since it gets pretty cold in Norway, that would kinda indicate
that propane might be as good or better than R410A in ASHP heating applications.

I wonder if there is any evidence of that idea.?.
