About

The modernisation and decarbonisation of district heating requires multifaceted action. The establishment of an enabling policy framework is needed to support the roll out of networks across Europe; while innovative technical solutions are required to upgrade networks and enable the efficient integration of local and renewable energy sources.
This full day event will focus on both approaches: best practice policies and actions for fostering the use of local energy sources, as well as technological innovations to optimise the operating temperature of the district heating networks.
