The EU supports the uptake of smart and low-temperature district heating and cooling (DHC) networks to speed up the process of decarbonisation and to achieve a climate-neutral economy by 2050 (European Green Deal). However, designing, planning, and building low-temperature DHC grids is not an easy task.

The 5th generation district heating and cooling (5GDHC) is a new concept based on a decentralized grid allowing direct energy flows among and within buildings, not requiring a central heat plant. To build a 5GDHC grid, it is important to know its specifications and technological components.

Have you already followed the Introduction course on 5th generation district heating and cooling (5GDHC)? Are you eager to learn more about 5GDHC? The D2Grids project and its partners (OU, BRGM, VITO, Greenflex, Mijnwater)  are now presenting the second module, which is focusing on the technological aspect of 5GDHC.

The second module is online!
