Evaluating embodied carbon in heat network projects

Don't miss the 4th chapter of the DHC+ Innovators webinar series

As heat networks expand across Europe, understanding their full climate impact goes beyond operational emissions. This episode explores new guidance being developed to assess embodied carbon in heat network projects, helping the industry measure whole-life emissions and make more sustainable infrastructure decisions. Discover how this collaborative work is shaping future standards and supporting policymakers, developers and operators on the path to net zero.
