District Heating & Cooling
District heating and cooling is a proven solution for delivering heating, hot water and cooling services through a network of insulated pipes, from a central point of generation to the end user. District heating and cooling networks are also referred to as heat networks or district energy networks. They are suited to feed in locally
Facts & Figures
District energy & waste heat If the urbanisation trend continues and appropriate investments are in place, almost half of Europe’s heat demand could be met by district energy by 2050. There is on average 3 times more renewable and excess heat available than is required to meet high levels of district energy supply A transition to
