An estimated 67 million Europeans rely on heat provided by district heating, which is currently undergoing a decarbonisation process to achieve the goal of being climate-neutral by 2050.
A massive air-water heat pump in Helsinki will see the Finnish capital on the way to achieving its 2030 climate neutrality goal.
Power-to-heat shows how renewable energy can also be used for heating. This technology may be one of the most preferred and useful options for decarbonising district heating systems in Poland.
Decarbonising the heating and cooling sector is central to achieving the energy transition. This is recognised in the European Green Deal and the ‘Fit for 55’ package, as without increasing the share of renewables in this sector, our energy and climate…
Geothermal energy is heat generated in earth’s crust and is used mainly for electricity generation, district heating and industrial processes and could be Europe’s next big thing in renewable energy.
Providing 20% of the EU heat demand with district heating by 2030 would save 24 billion cubic meters of gas, representing 32% of Europe’s Russian gas imports in 2022. Decisive EU action is needed to leverage this potential.
Geothermal heat, especially when paired with district heating networks for broad local distribution, is an abundant resource just below our feet. Europe needs more of it to decarbonise the building sector and kick its fossil fuel habit, writes a cross-…
As Europe aims to reach climate neutrality by 2050, transforming the massive pipeline networks heating millions of homes poses a huge engineering challenge.
The key instruments of the EU legislation aimed at achieving a fully decarbonised building stock by 2050 is the EPBD. One of the biggest issues is to properly reflect the potential of energy from power grids and district heating networks.
