District heating research affect European energy strategy
An increase to 50 % district heating in the countries of The European Union in combination with 35 % heat savings can not only enable the EU to meet its CO2 targets for 2050, but do this at a cost of 100 billion euro less than energy savings do on their own.
Heat roadmap China: New heat strategy to reduce energy consumption towards 2030
This study compared 3 district heating strategies for China and concluded that a new district heating strategy which introduces surplus heat from industry and generation plants is more economically and technically desirable than an individual heat strategy and the current heat strategy.
The results show that district heating could contribute to a decrease in energy consumption for building heating by about 60% with 15% lower heating cost compared with the current, implemented heat strategy.
