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
