District heating and cooling networks are being increasingly considered as opportunities to decarbonise space heating and hot water supply in urban areas
Clear regulations are necessary for the effective establishment of district heating networks
DIVERSE SUPPLY District heating networks can use a number of different heat sources, providing flexibility and security of supply at low cost
KEY COMPONENT The development of thermal storage assets linked to DHC networks can provide significant benefits across the lifetime of the project
KEY QUOTE Consumers, building owners and municipal governments are increasingly aware of the benefits of DHC networks and their potential to decarbonise heating by exploiting renewable heat and recovered heat ...

The bigger the pool of energy demand, the less the ripples in supply from renewable energy are felt. Special report part 2/3
Cities are taking the lead on the decarbonisation of district heating and cooling networks, with the use of heat pumps on the rise
Citizens across Europe are concerned about their heating bills as a result of the energy price crisis, but sustainable heating and cooling do not yet receive much attention in the EU’s agenda
Two Parisian networks illustrate the old versus the new when it comes to district heating systems. Installing the next generation of district heating networks, while upgrading existing infrastructure, will accelerate the energy transition, says Sem Oxenaar from the Regulatory Assistance Project
To make district heating happen we need to implement local heat planning, build societal trust and update regulatory frameworks. Without these, the switch to clean heat will be more costly and important system benefits could fail to materialise, warns Sem Oxenaar from the Regulatory Assistance Project
