Three Pillars of 4DH
Supply:
• Low temperature District heating
Production:
• Renewable Systems Integration
Organisation:
• Planning and Implementation

4th Generation District Heating4th Generation District Heating technological Systems are defined as a coherent technological and institutional system, which by use of district heating smart grids helps a suitable implementation of renewable energy systems by providing for heat supply of low-energy-buildings with low grid losses in a way in which the use of low-temperature heat sources are integrated with the operation of electricity and gas smart grids. The concept involves the development of an institutional and organisational framework to facilitate suitable cost and motivation structures.

STUDY FOR THE EU27
Heat Roadmap Europe• Two Reports:
▫ Pre-study 1 (2012): is DHC beneficial in a business-as-usual scenario
▫ Pre-study 2 (2013): is DHC beneficial in a low-heat demand scenario
This is also a complete heat strategy

HRE1 Conclusion: 50% DH in 2050• Decrease primary energy supply
and especially fossil fuels and CO2 emissions
• Decrease annual costs of energy in Europe by approximately €14 Billion in 2050
• Create additional 220,000 jobs over the period 2013-2050
• Further integration of RES

HRE2: Key Conclusion
• A combination of:
▫ 50% District Heating (Cities)
▫ 50% Heat Pumps (Rural Areas)
▫ 35% Energy Savings (Everywhere)
Can enable the EU to reach its CO2 target in 2050 for €100 billion/year less than energy savings on
their own.
