T-4B1a-TE-1 - Shift to district heating in commercial buildings
Background¶
IPCC WG3 definition: .
District heating is an efficient way of generating and distributing heat, allowing for a broad range of energy sources while utilising its large scale.
District heating is an efficient way of generating and distributing heat, allowing for a broad range of local energy sources while utilising its large scale.
Sustainability Category: Green¶
This transition element substantially contributes to climate change mitigation through significant greenhouse gas reductions, carbon sequestration, or enabling the transition to net-zero emissions. The transition element aligns with science-based pathways to limit global warming and should be prioritized for investment and expansion.
