Deadline: 16-Nov-22
The European Commission (EC) is seeking proposals for the Integration of low-grade renewable energy or waste heat in high temperature district heating.
Scope
Proposals should work with operators/owners of high temperature district heating systems and provide them with the required technical support for the preparation of investment plans to fulfil the proposed criteria for ‘efficient district heating and cooling’ as defined in the proposal for the revised directive on energy efficiency. Activities may include among others, identification of available renewable energy and waste heat sources, contracting with owners, pre-feasibility studies, financial engineering, etc.
Objective
The whole transformation of the heating and cooling sector plays an essential role in the climate transition, and it is necessary to support the further application of efficient and renewable technologies to make the sector fit to meet this challenge. The “Fit for 55”[1] package proposes revisions of the Energy Efficiency Directive (EED) and the Renewable Energy Directive (RED) with specific targets to increase the use of renewable energy and waste heat in district heating systems.
