DECARBONISATION
Transforming heat supply to RES DHC increases local added value and provides liveable climate conditions for the futurePOWER-TO-HEAT
Coupling DHC with renewable electricity provides resilience and support to the power gridSOLAR THERMAL ENERGY
Freely-available solar energy can provide more than 50% of the annual heat demandDEEP GEOTHERMAL ENERGY
Deep natural water reservoirs provide a high potential for supplying basic heat loadsINDUSTRIAL WASTE HEAT
Integration of surplus heat into DHC increases the efficiency and reduces the primary energy consumptionBIOENERGY
Based on biomass, this energy source is versatile used for heat supply and can be storedLOW TEMPERATURE USE
Smart integration of heat pumps in DHC provides heat at a useful temperature levelDISTRIBUTION
DHC networks connect local renewable energy sources with consumers by supplying heat through a series of pipesMULTI-FUNCTIONAL HEAT STORAGE
Thermal storage provides flexibility to heat generators and security of energy supplyLatest RES-DHC Tweets
