New academic study challenges traditional energy modelling: Heating and Cooling networks are essential infrastructures for energy strategies towards 2050
Press release

To meet the goals set for 2050 a full and open analysis of the options is essential. In particular, current policy development should explore the full capacity of District Heating systems and additional industrial heat use from industrial CHP plants, as well as other linked approaches that maybe necessary. Yet, the low geographical resolution of traditional energy modelling based on national energy balances tends to exclude specific local possibilities.Hereby, traditional models favor generic possibilities available everywhere such as electric and gas alternatives associated to major international energy companies As a result, efficient and renewable heating and cooling options are not sufficiently taken into account in energy scenarios such as the EU Energy Roadmap 2050.
