? This session was recorded and is available here

This webinar took a look at Berlin where Vattenfall is making Smart Energy System Integration happen. Building blocks: Power-to-heat (electric boilers, large heat pumps etc.), CHP plants (fired by natural gas, later on hydrogen or synthetic fuels), heat buffers, excess heat integration, utilisation of originally renewable sources (e.g. geothermal or solar thermal) and smart system operation based on „smartly metered data“.

Presenters:

• Markus Witt, Vice President for Asset Management BU Heat, Vattenfall

• 17 June 2020 | 14:30-16:45 – City Focus: Local Leaders on the Front Lines of the Heating and Cooling Revolution

? This session was recorded and is available HERE.

Half of Europe’s energy consumption today is made up of heating and cooling and most of that demand is met through the burning of oil and gas. In an increasingly urbanised world, cities have both the power and the responsibility to deliver the change we need and make the heating and cooling revolution happen.
Many European cities have inspiring stories to tell about how have managed or how they plan their heat transition towards a 100% green, reliable system based on local sources and heat networks. During the webinar we will hear from four remarkable cities from all corners of Europe, from very advanced decarbonised systems going the extra mile, to retrofitting and decarbonising existing networks, to getting a new network started.
Tune in, discuss with the cities and ask all your questions during the break-out sessions!
