RES-DHC Project

RES-DHC stands for a wider introduction of Renewable Energy Sources (RES) in the District Heating and Cooling (DHC) sector. The RES-DHC project addresses the manifold market uptake challenges related to the transformation of DHC systems to higher shares of RES. Here we provide you with news, information and know-how on transforming DHC systems towards higher shares of renewable energy sources. What is the project RES-DHC and how does it work? The main objective of the RES-DHC project is to support the transformation of existing urban DHC systems to RES in six participating regions and thereby to derive – from these practical cases – technical and organizational solutions for such transformation processes. A vertical pillar of the project is a close-to-market implementation process of concrete actions and measures by regional stakeholder consortia in the six regions (in AT, CH, DE, FR, IT and PL).

The specific actions of the RES-DHC project meet the market uptake challenges to a great extent, e.g.
