Roadmaps are ready: now what?? Exploring the realities of the heat transition

Euroheat & Power Events
13 February 2019 - 13 February 2019
L42, Brussels

This one-day event was jointly organised by the Horizon 2020 projects Heat Roadmap Europe 4 (HRE4) and ReUseHeat.

For HRE4, it was the closing event where the final project results and low-carbon heating and cooling strategies were presented and their implementation at the local level was discussed. The complementary ReUseHeat workshop focused on mapping of urban excess heat sources, business models and bankability of such projects. The event summary is available here.
