Work Package 1- Heat demands

The project aims at describing the total European heat market and rendering it more transparent. The project makes use of the existing statistics that provide information on primary energy supply and final energy consumption by carrying out at the same time a correlation between different information sources. The heat demand assessment involves the consideration of elements such as:

  • coverage: industrial and domestic sectors and overall country's estimates
  • development of a new heat index which will be used in combination with specific heat demands and data regarding urban and rural population for assessing the domestic heat demands;
  • evaluation of differences in final energy demands between Central and Eastern European countries and old EU member states and possible implications from the resulting trends
  • analysis and explanation of similitude between the heat demands in Northern and Central Europe
  • heating costs and prices
  • heat market energy supplies: fuel, electricity, heat, equipment suppliers
