DecarbonDHS- Decarbonization of district heating systems
Currently, district heating systems are based mainly on coal and natural gas. Effective substitution of fossil fuels for heating/cooling (district heating, heating microgrids) systems is needed in respect to two strategic goals: decarbonization and reducing the ecological footprint, climate, and energy security – reducing dependence on imported fossil fuels, including from hostile countries. This could be done using waste heat from industrial processes and surplus renewable electricity generated by wind/solar installations, in frame of the Power-to-Heat technology or with ‚green’ hydrogen and its derivatives such as ammonia and/or methanol, in particular locally produced as e-ammonia and carbon neutral methanol (biomethanol, initially and/or e-methanol) in the near future. Local heating plants could be operated using commercially available marine engines fueled by methanol co-generating electricity, etc. Thus, the situation in this regard is particularly favorable in port cities and coastal regions with developed port industry, cold stores for sea fishing, large offshore wind farms (existing and to be built), district heat pumps employing seewater and industrial waste heat resources as their bottom source, and last but not least the developing market for methanol (and other) as a marine fuel. The related project objective is to deliver energy efficiency and renewable energy investments of ambition and scale, developing replicable solutions that are mobilizing public, as well as private capital.
