Ecoheat4cities: Rising awareness for efficient and renewable heat

Ingo Weidlich, H. Huther

Abstract

Providing efficient and renewable heat for a future society is one major solution of nowadays energy dilemmas in Europe. 50% of the primary energy consumption in EU27 is heat. The need of changes in heat supply is obvious, if today's ambitious targets of a high renewable energy share shall be reached in the near future. This paper presents several results gathered the Ecoheat4cities project, which aims at the reduction of non-technical barriers for an efficient, renewable heat, and it increases the awareness for this type of heat. Work package 3, guided by AGFW, was the main focus of the authors. Nevertheless the project consists of five more work packages, therefore further research results are available.
