Increased energy optimisation using low temperature convectors
A new method of low-temperature heating system makes it possible to reduce energy use by at least 30% and shortens the payoff time for housing cooperatives.
Local low temperature networks for heating and cooling
In the Netherlands the KoWaNet project has tested local low temperature networks in order to make heating and cooling of Dutch buildings carbon neutral.
Governance innovation for accelerated sustainable transitions
Climate change and the destruction of ecological systems threaten our planet, and our society cannot continue to operate as usual. Governance innovation is needed according to a new paper.
Guide to European district energy projects

Get inspired and collect knowledge from innovative new projects financed by the European Commission.
Digitalisation and heat pumps – next step towards fossil free energy systems
The digitalisation process in society means new business models for heat pumps as well as the need for further development of integrated solutions. European Heat Pump Association, EHPA has provided an overview on the subject.
How to utilize district heating for cooling in a smart way
Energy providers and property owners can both benefit from an innovative cooling concept based on the utilization of the flexibility in district heating systems, and in particular by harvesting excess heat from a cooling process. A Berlin demo case is presented from the Flexi-Sync project.
Cities Manifesto for Fossil-Free Heating and Cooling
To ensure that cities’ needs and leadership role are taken on board in this pivotal moment for the future of heating and cooling, Celsius Cities, #DHCities, Energy Cities and FEDARENE have come together to endorse the Cities Manifesto for Fossil-Free Heating and Cooling.
Heat pumps in district heating systems
The combination of district heating and heat pumps are foreseen to have a key role in the future district heating systems. This article looks at the integration of large-scale heat pumps in district heating, which can help balancing the power grid when the production of electricity from intermittent renewable energy sources fluctuates.
Ownership and district heating prices: The case of an unregulated natural monopoly
This study is investigating how Swedish energy prices are influenced by the owner of the energy network – a private or a municipal company.
A pioneering project for sustainable energy in Greece
Alexandroupolis, a seaside municipality in Greece’s northeast coast is going to have cost-effective geothermal energy and heating soon. As...
