Decarbonised district heating systems are already here, and some of them are spelt “LTDH”. Low temperature district heating can prove to be an important part of addressing climate change and global warming.
On Thursday, April 16th 2020 at 10:30 CET, the RELaTED project was presented as part of a Webinar organised by Celsius in partnership with COOL DH.
During the one-hour meeting, opportunities and challenges for cities developing more sustainable and efficient energy systems were discussed. The participants addressed the question of potential plans for the deployment of new DHC systems or the extension and refurbishing of existing ones to a higher standard, using local low-grade heat sources.
The speakers :
- Sten Gravenslund Olesen, Project Manager in Smart Energy Systems at COWI, presented the concept and technologies behind low temperature district heating and its various benefits.
- Sara Kralmark – Project manager within business development at Kraftringen, talked about innovative business model solutions associated to LTDH systems, with focus on the COOL DH demo site of Brunnshög in Lund, Sweden.
- Christian Holm Christiansen– Senior Consultant at the Danish Technological Institute (DTI), working on the RELaTED project, addressed some of the obstacles that can be encountered and that need to be solved beforehand.
- The presentation was moderated by Gabriele Pesce– Project Officer at Euroheat & Power.
