Building bankable low-carbon DH projects

As district heating deployment accelerates across Europe, many regions are focusing on how to move from planning to implementation and from pilot projects to large-scale systems.
This webinar explores the key steps involved in developing, financing, and scaling renewable district heating projects, with a focus on practical approaches, investment planning, and real-world implementation.
Open to all stakeholders, the session is particularly relevant for those involved in project development and market expansion, including contexts such as the UK and Scotland, where district heating is rapidly evolving and scaling up.
Participants will gain insights into:
- Developing bankable district heating projects, from concept to implementation
- Translating transformation plans into concrete investment decisions
- Strategies for scaling up systems and expanding networks
- Lessons learned from real project development processes
The webinar brings together experiences from the SupportDHC frontrunner and follower cases, showcasing how challenges in project development and scaling are addressed in practice.
This session is part of a broader webinar series addressing different stages of district heating development across Europe. For more information, visit www.supportdhc.eu
