Project Detail |
The project consists of an investment programme for the expansion of a fifth generation district heating and cooling network system supplied by underground waters from closed coal mines in the Province of Limburg (NL).
Objectives
In line with the EU and national renewable energy targets, the investment plan will mostly substitute individual gas heating with a more sustainable and efficient centralised heating/cooling system, resulting in primary energy savings and reduction of emissions of greenhouse gases. The project will also contribute to progressing early-deployment of fifth generation district heating and cooling network in Europe, thus contributing to learning-by-doing and positive knowledge externalities.
