Visit to Serbia
DBDH have the pleasure to invite to join the 6th biannual Serbian-Danish District Heating Days in Serbia, 19-21 April 2017, with the theme “Public-Private-Partnerships and Renewable energy vs. classic (organic) fuels”.
DBDH has built up a valuable relation with the Serbian district heating sector through an agreement of Cooperation with the Serbian district heating association: SRBSKA TOPLA (TOPS), represented by its chairman, Mr. Milovan Lecic. This cooperation opens the access to the political level and important decision makers in the Serbian sector for district heating.
On one hand, the Serbian district heating sector want to benefit from cooperation with Danish companies, concerning Danish know-how and technologies – while on the other hand, Danish companies get to have a unique possibility of complete access to the district heating and utility sector and the regions that are members of TOPS.

From 19 to 21 April, the Serbian District Heating Association, TOPS and DBDH co-arranged the 6th biannual meeting with District Heating on top of the agenda.
This year the event took place in the mountains of Zlatibor and gathered the attendance of many representatives from the Serbian district heating sector, managers of Serbian heating plants, leaders and decision makers in the Serbian municipalities.
The theme of the District Heating Days was “Public Private Partnerships and Renewable energy vs. classic organic fuels, and the subject was coverered by former chairman of DBDH, Mr. Lars Gullev, CEO of VEKS. Mr. Gullev presented a very interesting showcase involving the partnership of VEKS and the private company, CP Kelco, one of the world’s largest producers of pectin based on citrus peels.
This year UN Environment participated also in the biannual meeting through District Energy in Cities Initiative, in which Belgrade is one of the six pilot cities globally. The Initiative will support delivery of an Action Plan to modernize the district heating network including network rehabilitation, connection of renewables and waste heat. Experience from Belgrade can be transferred to other cities in Serbia.
DBDH is an active partner in this project. UNEP was represented by Celia Martinez, giving an overview of the Initiative, as well as Senior Energy Advisor Romanas Savickas, who presented international best practices on energy mapping.
The presentations were followed by focusing on energy mapping in Belgrade, presented by Bojan Bogdanovic, Deputy director of Belgradska Elektrane.
Presentation by the participating Danish companies complemented one another to a large extent which underlined that all the different Danish manufacturers are part of the same system and cooperate extensively on district heating projects both in Denmark and abroad. The afternoon was dedicated to work shop meetings for deeper discussions of the solutions the Danish technology have to offer, and for two full hours the talks were very intense and fruitful.
