HEAT-35Transforming district heating systems of Central Europe into sustainable and efficient heating and cooling systems by 2035

https://www.interreg-central.eu/projects/heat-35/
INTERREG Central Europe 2021-20272024-2026Many district heating systems in central Europe still rely heavily on fossil fuels. New approaches utilize various heat sources but are complex to implement. The HEAT 35 project supports eight regions and cities in the transition process to run their district heating systems on 50% of renewables and waste heat by 2035. The partners involve district heating operators and experts to design new solutions. They also prepare guidelines and tools for the operators to implement these solutions, supported by a quality management system that helps to ensure that emission standards are respected.district heating, waste heat, renewable energy, energy transitionEnergy institute Hrvoje Požar

REHEATEASTBuilding local partnerships for reducing the fossil energy demand of district heating systems in the Eastern Danube Region

https://interreg-danube.eu/projects/reheateast
Interreg Danube Region Programme 2021-20272024-2026REHEATEAST aims to reduce DHC systems’ fossil energy demand and to integrate renewable energy and waste heat. It shall encourage multi-stakeholder, cross-sectoral, public-private cooperation and develop, test, promote and distribute applicable (process, technical and nature-based) solutions catalysing and supporting the implementation of large-scale building and systems rehabilitation programs, as well as climate adaptation measures. Transnational cooperation enables the adaptation of existing good practices in similar contexts, and the joint development of adaptable cooperation and optimisation models focused on integrating digitalisation, standardisation, certification and green procurement opportunities, involving all relevant stakeholders (incl. public authorities, consumers, financial institutions, utilities, media, technology suppliers and construction firms). Developed models are tested in pilot actions. district heating, heating-cooling, energy poverty, waste heat, renewable energy, Pannon European Grouping of Territorial Cooperation
