The theme is “How to get started?”
Before we focus on the theme, we will focus on the European energy crisis – more specifically, the European gas crisis.
District Heating is also a way to get rid of gas.
District Heating can play an essential part in converting from gas to renewable heating. The whole of Europe is in a crisis. On the back of this enormous crisis, we have an energy crisis, where countries are being denied delivery of Russian gas or simply want to get rid of it.
The International Energy Agency has acted swiftly on this critical situation and released a 10-point plan to reduce the EU’s reliance on Russian gas. Unfortunately, district heating was not mentioned, even though our industry can support the goal. More importantly, we can do so with a future-proof solution to keep us on track for the green transition. District heating deserves a place in that report as well. We invite you to read the open letter sent to IEA from our chairman, Jørgen Nielsen.
