Framing the possibilities: EU legislative framework for District Heating
District heating will have a key role in the decarbonisation ambition for the EU. At the same time, the DHC systems are governed by numerous laws and policies, at EU, national and local levels. This article assists actors in navigating these regulations and contributing to the net-zero emission goal.

Distribution Technologies for LTDH/HTDC
This article presents different aspects of distribution-side technologies for LTDH and HTDC.
Utility-side storage
There are big advantages with short term thermal storage (TES) to cut daily peaks in the heat load in DH/DC systems.
Strategies for decreasing peak loads and energy use
This article describes the main techniques adopted for decreasing peak loads and manage the demand side of a DH or DC system.
Geothermal heat – remains of the Big Bang
Ground source heat pumps (GSHP) and deeper geothermal heat can provide temperatures high enough for conventional DH.
Biomass for the masses
Biofuel CHP plants have the potential to be used as a renewable peak plant, during times of low supply or high demand.
