WEDISTRICT main ambition is to demonstrate the viability of renewable based DHC implementation at large-scale in Europe, through a number of success stories or demonstration projects distributed across Europe, as the best possible tool for raising investor and customer confidence, and facilitating the more widespread use of renewable district energy. The target is to demonstrate 100% fossil free heating and cooling solutions by optimally integrating multiple sources of renewable energies and excess heat in new and existing DHC systems.
This White Paper focuses on the implications of coupling the electricity, heating and cooling vectors as a vital part of efficiently decarbonising the whole European energy sector.
More than 50 additional signatories endorsed the declaration issued on the 10th of November, bringing the total number of supporters to 90 European organisations, companies and utilities.
