ECO-EFFICIENT CITIES: TIME TO TAP THE POTENTIAL!

 

A part of the solution to the global climate challenge already exists, and it is closer than we realise.
Europe’s energy systems are currently wasting a high amount of energy that could be recycled. By using primary resources more efficiently, district heating can be a substantial driver to fight climate change.
Time to rethink our energy policy, time to talk district heating!

The Swedish Presidency of the EU is promoting the concept of an eco-efficient economy. District heating is one of the most eco-efficient measures there is to combat climate change.
