How To…
take the first steps towards transforming your DHC system
TRANSFORMATION STRATEGY
How can an effective transformation towards efficient district heating and cooling be successfully implemented?
DECARBONISING WITH RENEWABLE ENERGIES
Which renewable energy sources exist for the sustainable decarbonisation of existing district heating and cooling systems?
ASSESSING LOCAL RES POTENTIAL
BEST PRACTICES
Take a look at some best practice examples that demonstrate how sustainable district heating and cooling can look!

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 support to the power grid, making it more resilientSOLAR THERMAL ENERGY
Freely-available solar energy can potentially provide more than the half of the annual heat demandDEEP GEOTHERMAL ENERGY
Deep geothermal energy has large potential to supply base load heat with up to more than a hundred mega wattsINDUSTRIAL WASTE HEAT
Integration of surplus heat into DHC increases system efficiency and reduces primary energy consumptionBIOENERGY
Biomass as a renewable energy source can be used for heat only as well as for combined heat and power (CHP) production and can be easily storedLOW TEMPERATURE USE
Smart integration of heat pumps in DHC provides heat at lower, more-useful temperaturesDISTRIBUTION
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 supplyTake a look at the RES DHC Leaflet.

In Europe, the green transition is happening right now.
And there’s always a need for trailblazers, who set even higher goals.
Today we announced the cities that will participate in the EU Mission for 100 climate-neutral, smart cities by 2030.
They are showing us the way.
