To decarbonise district heating systems in the South Baltic area by integrating renewable energy and enhancing energy efficiency.
Overview: The project promotes the decarbonisation of district heating systems in the South Baltic area, focusing on transitioning to sustainable, low-carbon solutions through the integration of renewable energy sources, enhanced energy efficiency, utilisation of industrial waste heat, and incorporation of energy storage technologies.
Key Objectives: The project seeks to substitute fossil fuels in heating and cooling systems with sustainable alternatives, aligning with strategic goals of decarbonisation, climate mitigation, and energy security while addressing challenges like aging infrastructure, energy efficiency, and high initial costs.
Main Activities: Activities include developing a roadmap for the decarbonisation of district heating, demonstrating innovative low-temperature systems in pilot projects to showcase their feasibility and benefits, and engaging stakeholders in capacity building through training and dissemination of best practices. Recommendations for policy makers will also be formulated to support this transition.
Impact: The project enhances sustainability and energy security in municipalities by empowering them with the expertise to implement sustainable district heating plans. It fosters cross-border cooperation, promotes new energy technologies, and contributes to significant carbon emission reductions, serving as a model for other regions aiming to achieve a low-carbon future.
