Feeling #energised after Euractiv's event on how power-to-heat can help #decarbonise the #districtheating & #cooling sector😎 PTH can unlock new #heat sources like #geothermal & #excessheat, the 🇪🇺's largest untapped energy source! Let’s get to work👏

We officially kick off #EHPCongress24 with our annual #GeneralAssembly! This year’s assembly is special as we elect a new Board & welcome our new president Janne Kerttula and VP Frans de Heij. We’re looking forward to this new mandate & new year full of ambitious #goals! 🎯

🔴It's on! Euroheat & Power EHP congress 2024 in Rotterdam. While the association is turning 70🎉, #DistrictHeating and #cooling is more relevant than ever for #decarbonisation #EHPCongress24

🔴The #EHPCongress24 is now in full swing, with a memorable speech from our newly elected President! As Janne Kerttula says, don’t be fooled by our 70 years – #districtheating & #cooling is #pipinghot & more relevant than ever!

#DHC is a cost optimal & #sustainable solution to fast track the #transition of #heating & #cooling in high density areas. As @rjkoppelaar said, the 🇳🇱 is a great example of empowered communities making it happen! #EHPCongress24 👇🧵

Do we have what we need to make #heat happen? ✅Ready technology to harness #RES & #wasteheat ✅Robust policy frameworks, including FF55, to #pump up the pace of full #decarbonisation. ⏰Time to boost investment & synergy b/w public & private sectors. As easy as “heat”sounds😎

We have the road, let's build a highway to reach our climate & energy targets!🚀 We need to get #citizens on board and empower them to gear up for the transition!

☀️ Good morning from Rotterdam! The #EHPCongress2024 just started with a warm welcome from Euroheat&Power President Janne Kerrtula and Managing Director Aurelie Beauvais. Let's talk about #districtheatingandcooling, #renewablenergy and #wasteheat 🙌

🍀 #Districtenergy's societal benefits are significant, but how to drive further consumer & market uptake? Great exchange w/ Rana Adib (REN21 - Renewables Now) Cora van Nieuwenhuizen (Energie-Nederland), Anton Koller (@DanfossClimate) & @rjkoppelaar, setting the scene for our #EHPCongress24 !

+8 millions households could be connected to #districtheating by 2030 📈 💚Good news that so many citizens will have access to #Sustainable and #affordable #heat. 🔸All we want is hot showers and cool beers 😁 #EUSEW2024

We need the right policies and incentives to enable a renewables revolution in buildings! We also need radical transparency on fossil fuel tax incomes and subsidies. 📸From the opening today at #EHPCongress24 with Cora van Nieuwenhuizen, Anton Koller, Beauvais Aurélie and @rjkoppelaar

Our first-ever #CrashCourseforCities just kicked off! 🎉 Representatives from 🇧🇪, 🇳🇱, 🇬🇧, 🇭🇷 & 🇩🇪 joined us at #EHPCongress24 to learn about #EU legislative frameworks, urban energy planning & #DHC #decarbonisation. Cities can lead the way in transforming #heating & #cooling!🏙️

We’re delighted to present this year’s #rising energy stars!💫 Meet the winners of the @DHC+ Student Awards at #EHPCongress24🥳 🏆Join us in celebrating these innovative #research contributions in our field!

#DYK #geothermal can cover 2⃣5⃣% of EU #heating & #cooling needs by 2035?😱 Robert Winsloe (Eavor Technologies Inc.) says, #geothermal is everywhere! Already 400 geothermal #DHC operate in Europe & 300 developing. DHC can tap the full potential of the #heat beneath our #feet!👟 #EHPCongress24

In the run towards #fossilfree heating, we must privilege solutions with the lowest societal costs, such as #DHC! The keys to boost DHC in 🇳🇱 & 🇪🇺 are: 📐Regulatory certainty 🤝Collaboration ⚖️Fair cost-allocation 💭Curiosity towards new business models #EHPCongress24

Get #HealthyHeat4Cities🏙 #Heating & #cooling count for 80% of households' energy😱 #Sustainable #affordable heating is a must for #communities & the environment. Local government can boost the transition! Join the campaign👉 bit.ly/3x1KuNT Covenant of Mayors - Europe

What a fantastic idea of the #CitiesHeatDetox campaign by Covenant of Mayors - Europe! Launched at #EUSEW2024 and supported by our friends Salaspils Siltums 🇱🇻, City of Karlsruhe 🇩🇪, Kozani 🇬🇷 and Vienna 🇦🇹 Promote #HealthyHeat4Cities by joining the campaign 🙌 bit.ly/3x1KuNT

Why the neighbourly way?🤔 The neighbourhood approach flourishes in🇪🇺 integrating #DHC, #buildings & #cities. #DHC enables resilience, reliability & affordability by harnessing local #RES & #cleanheat! It's a collective heating model empowering communities in the transition💪

#Local #heating & #cooling plans promoted by #EED are key to explore available WH & #RES sources & integrate communities in the transition💪 An expected 1300 total municipalities will draw up plans, addressing around 1/3 of #EU population! -Madis Laaniste @energy4europe @ #EUSEW

A great example of a city implementing clean #DHC projects is Barcelona🇪🇸 The city has 2 DHC networks & supplying warm water issued from #wasteheat & #cooling using seawater to face the increasing demand🌊 Figures show DHC's efficiency & #decarbonisation potential👇 #EUSEW2024
