Waste heat knowledge

In this edition, you can read about the “Waste Heat Knowledge and Communications Gap” in the UK and how suddenly the services are turned upside-down. Charlotte Owen considers how the industry should pay the DH company for cooling services… Now, that is a new approach.

Getting started with sustainable district heating

Municipalities in Belgium also have to get started with sustainable district heating – read about some of the concerns and approaches used here.

Let’s compete – but against relevant alternatives!

The column “Let’s compete – but against relevant alternatives!” argues that we need to compare district heating to relevant alternatives, not an obsolete technology nobody wants in the future (read natural gas).

Digitalization of the demand-side

Would you have guessed that 55/30 was enough to heat buildings without deep energy renovation? The editor was surprised! Do not miss the article “Digitalization of the demand-side.” And this time, we feature one of the DBDHs utility members – Din Forsyning, who is installing a 50MW heat pump.

CORT: Improving the efficiency of carbon capture technologies

Carbon capture technologies are set to play a key role in Denmark’s climate action strategy. However, the high energy consumption of these technologies drives up operational costs, creating a barrier to their adoption. As a result, there is a need for significant efficiency improvements.

Decarbonising heat in UK Towns and Cities

In the UK, heat represents approximately 50% of energy demand, yet heat in buildings is only supplied by ~6% renewable energy, far behind electricity decarbonisation, which has driven the UK’s decarbonisation since 1990. With 80% of current buildings likely to remain by 2050, reducing and decarbonis
