You find the newsletter here.
Join us on Wednesday April 24, 2019 at 10:30 CET to discuss with our experts how solar heating is revolutionizing the energy sector, the challenges it faces and the possibility it presents for diverse and integrated energy systems. Read more and register
This webinar – organised in the framework of Celsius Talks series – will present three tools, developed in close collaboration with local authorities all over Europe in order to best fit their needs: HOTMAPS, PLANHEAT and THERMOS! More information here
From pilot to reality: Sustainable Heating & Cooling by Sweden. Read more here (Swedish only). Registration will open shortly.
The second CELSIUS Summit was held in Brussels on November 21, 2018 and marked the launch of the second phase of the successful European project on district heating and cooling. With a wider scope CELSIUS wants become a hub for knowledge sharing in the field of sustainable heating and cooling in Europe.
– We want cities to connect with us and then we will act as matchmakers, providing knowledge for those who need it from those who have it, says Katrina Folland, CELSIUS Project Leader from Johanneberg Science Park in Gothenburg.
A platform of networking and knowledge, CELSIUS takes a holistic approach to overcome technical, social, financial and political barriers to district heating and cooling solutions. Read more about CELSIUS or watch a film.
The goal of signing up 50 CELSIUS member cities is surpassed! The CELSIUS network now welcomes more district heating and cooling stakeholders: the CELSIUS City Supporters.
The CELSIUS Wiki is an online district heating and cooling knowledge resource that is growing as more representatives join the CELSIUS network and contribute. CELSIUS addresses policy framework issues through consultations and Position Papers.
It is with a great honour CELSIUS has received awards for the work of promoting smart district energy solutions.
In November, 2016, the European Commission proposed a package of measures to keep the European Union competitive as the clean energy transition is delivered and changes global energy markets.
The proposal has three main goals: putting energy efficiency first, achieving global leadership in renewable energies and providing a fair deal for consumers.

District heating is a heating system consisting of a pipe network, filled with hot water, and heat sources (from residual heat or a heating plant). The hot water is circulated by pumps, from the heating plant to the client and back again to the heating plant. A heat exchanger at the customer transfers the heat from the district heating network to the building’s own heating and hot water systems. The return water continues out through the return pipe and is pumped back to the heating plant, where it again is heated.
