This paper compares the source to sink efficiencies of hydrogen-based heat supply system to a district heating system operating on the same primary energy source.

This paper presents revised and clarified steps for the calculation of district heating CO2 emission factors.

A categorization of the development in district cooling from origin to future prospect

A valuable overview of the current state of funding for Renewable Heating and Cooling innovation in Europe.

The ReUseHeat project used the levelized cost of heat estimations for calculating each heating solution across the different demo sites.

Explore the ENTRAIN project cases of local and small-scale renewable district heating.

A virtual tour to ENTRAIN success stories.

A new e-book by Grundfos reminds policy makers that heating seems to be the single most important sector in the green transition.

In order to enable excess heat producers to supply their heat to district heating, third-party access needs to be granted, which calls for a deregulated heat market.

District energy systems are one of those infrastructures that can provide superior resilience compared to individual systems.

In this paper, we have developed an economic assessment model for the integration of urban heat sources into existing district heating systems.

This paper discusses the integration of sub-LTDHNs into the return flow of existing HTDHNs, thereby creating an energy cascade and thus lowering the overall system temperatures of the HTDHN.

The H2020 TEMPO project produced a virtual site tour to showcase the implemented innovations in one of the demonstration sites.

This article reviews the challenges confronted by such integration, investigating the technical and non-technical difficulties associated with the exploitation of solar thermal, waste heat, geothermal, and biomass energy sources into district heating systems.

This paper provides a coherent review of district heating in Denmark, exploring past, present and future perspectives.

The six implications of the EU’s “Fit for 55” package for your Heating Network." was co-created with Euroheat and Power (Eloi Piel). In only 5 pages, it summarizes the first concrete steps that can help district heating networks prepare their organization for this transformation.

This study explores the district heating and cooling sector and its new challenges, notably innovative financing schemes and business models capable of addressing the need for increasing leverage of private or alternative financing.

The results of this study provide valuable insight in the market expectations relating to digitalisation efforts such as TEMPO. As such, they will be integrated in the on-going replication effort within the TEMPO project.

This study describes the main methodological approaches to Label assignment and calculation, as well as the most critical aspects of the system implementation in Estonia.

This paper addresses economic aspects of heat savings in the context of strategic heat planning.

Within the TEMPO project, six innovations related to networks, digitization thereof and building optimization undergo final development.

This deliverable describes the innovations installed in the A2A demonstrator as well as the main technical and economic aspects of those implementations, the measures for the implementation quality control, the commissioning of the demo site and initial operation.

Several of TEMPO's innovations will be applied in Breschia's A2A demosite to verify their effects in an operational environment and to develop a solution that is easily replicable in low heat density parts of the networks.

The deliverable D3.3 of the TEMPO project is a report on the integrated improved innovations in the Windsbach demo site.

Deliverable 3.2. of the TEMPO project focuses on the actual execution of the more rural Windsbach demo-site and its key components.
