Decarbonising cooling systems

With higher decarbonisation and efficiency targets, heating and cooling are key aspects of the transition. We often discuss the role of heating networks and how they can be decarbonised, but cooling systems also have their part to play. Not only for the industry but, with temperatures on the rise, also in residential areas.

This capacity-building session, organised within the frame of the Decarb City Pipes 2050 project, will explore the framework to develop decarbonised cooling systems. It will showcase examples from cities that already started developing cooling networks, and will give a legislative overview of the EU framework regarding cooling. See the agenda below:

  • 10:00-10:30 Adeline Rochet, E3G, The European legislation on cooling
  • 10:30:11:00 Laurine Decros & Luc Petitpain, CEREMA, The tool developed under LIFE HEAT&COOL
  • 11:00-11:30 Patrick Krystallas, SWM, Munich’s district cooling
  • 11:30-12:00 Burkhard Hölzl, Wien Energie, Vienna’s district cooling from a utility/energy provider perspective
