What are the benefits of District Heating and Cooling?
Environment-friendliness: especially through the various utilisation possibilities of combined heat and power (CHP), essential energy savings and a decline of the emissions of noxious materials, especially the green house gas CO2, are possible. Uninterrupted supply guarantee: Because of the possibility of fuel diversification, an economically high conformity to the requests of the energy markets world-wide is given. Commercial efficiency: district heating systems at present represent the best alternative of heat- and power generation systems with respect to the ecology and economy. Employment: district heating systems have high initial investment costs (cogeneration plant, laying of pipelines). Through this, positive effects on the job market arise, especially in the pipeline- and plant construction businesses.
