3 Challenges for district heating Low-temperature excess heat losses (25 to 60 C) Decreasing heat demand Distant excess heat sources Time shift between demand and supply High return flow temperatures Available excess heat (kwh) Data source: Enova Heat Roadmap Europe, Peta 4.2 Heat Roadmap Europe, Peta 4.2 Sabihuddin et al Gadd and Werner 2014 Utilizing low-temperature excess heat Increasing demand density Long-distance transport (50 km and more) Mid-term time shift (storage) Lowering return flow temperatures 3

5 EU energy efficiency directive (DIRECTIVE 2012/27/EU) efficient district heating and cooling means a district heating or cooling system using at least 50 % renewable energy, 50 % waste heat, 75 % cogenerated heat or 50 % of a combination of such energy and heat; New electricity generation installations and existing installations [ ] with highefficiency cogeneration units to recover waste heat [ ]. This waste heat could then be transported where it is needed through district heating networks. Member States shall ensure that any available support for cogeneration is subject to the electricity produced originating from high-efficiency cogeneration and the waste heat being effectively used to achieve primary energy savings. 5
