District energy is key to decarbonise the EU building stock

The project ‘Issy Energies Vertes,’ developed by Veolia and the city of Issy-les-Moulineaux, will recover heat from wastewater for heating and cooling in buildings, a first in the Paris region.

Making the energy transition a reality is going to be one of the key challenges in the coming years, and even more so for the heat transition which is still lagging behind. With the pathway to 2030 and 2050 set, we still have to decide on the levers and technologies to get us there. We are keen to know your opinion!

Citizens of Balti, Moldova’s second-largest city, will benefit from more efficient district heating thanks to a new €15 million loan from the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development (EBRD) to state-owned company CET Nord JSC. The company provides district heating services to around 70 per cent of the city’s population, as well as to numerous public buildings and commercial entities.

UK homes, university residences and public buildings will benefit from cleaner, more affordable heat and energy, thanks to £19 million government funding announced today to further expand Great Britain’s network of low carbon heating in December.
