Designing a resilient district energy infrastructure

Consumers increasingly want greater living comfort, competitive energy costs, and greener solutions for their heating. And in urban centers, district energy utilities can harness local, renewable energy resources despite unforeseen disruptions--from natural disasters to fuel shortages.

How can district heating utilities ensure the system's resilience and provide undisturbed supply, all while meeting the decarbonization goals?
