Heating & Cooling
Europe is using around half of its energy consumption for heating and cooling (H&C). The sector relies mostly on fossil fuels and it is responsible for about 27% of CO2 emissions. We defend and support the development of locally-sourced district heating & cooling networks to decarbonise Europe’ energy system.
