This book evaluates the potential of the combined use of district
heating networks and cogeneration in the European Union (EU). It
also proposes measures to remove barriers hindering their
widespread implementation, formulates policies for their
implementation, and evaluates their economic, energy, and
environmental consequences. The book presents a preliminary
assessment of the likely cost and the impact of widespread adoption
of district heating networks and cogeneration carried out in three
cities that represent the variety of climatic conditions in the EU.
Based on this assessment, it is estimated that by undertaking the
maximum economically feasible implementation across the EU, fuel
savings of EURO95M/year would be achieved, representing energy
savings of 6,400 petajoules (PJ), which is around 15% of the total
final energy consumption in the EU in 2013 (46,214.5 PJ). Using
simple and quick calculations and not specific software, the method
used allows the evaluation of the potential benefits of
retrofitting existing power plants into cogeneration plants and
connecting them to nearby heating networks. In light of increasing
energy costs and environmental concerns, the book is of interest to
heating engineers, city planners, and policy-makers around the
globe.
