A successful district heating network in France
Editorial Team
The district heating association (AMORCE) in France has highlighted the success and promising results of the French district heating network and its growth strategy. Although the sector only covers 5% of the heating demand, it is mainly decarbonised with 60% coming from renewable energy and waste heat.
AMORCE aims to triple the number of connected buildings to a selection of 300 district heating systems.
