District energy is key to decarbonise the EU building stock

The European Commission has published four studies that look at different aspects of the decarbonisation of heating and cooling in the EU. Roughly half of the energy consumed at present in Europe is used for heating and cooling, and most of it is based on fossil fuels.

The European Commission released today the REPowerEU communication setting out a detailed plan to phase out imports of Russian gas to Europe before 2030. This document recognises the critical role of district heating, urging Member States to develop and modernise district heating systems which can accelerate the reduction of gas demand, especially in densely populated areas and cities.

'Locally owned and a flagship of the European energy industry, district heating is a critical piece of the equation.'
