COHEAT2 - Paving way for energy renovations and the transition from fossil fuels to green, local heat supply in the Region of Southern Denmark

The overall objective of COHEAT2 is to demonstrate, in the Region of Southern Denmark and its 22 municipalities, how concrete investments in energy renovations of residential buildings, the transition to a 100% green heating supply and CO2 reductions of 70% by 2030 can be accelerated and implemented through novel business, technology and replication models organized in sub-regional project development units (PDU).

COHEAT2 aims to help municipalities cope with their huge obligation to ensure the green transition of the heating of buildings and households currently not connected to district heating network, and buildings and households where district heating is not viable.

Approx. 100,000 houses and buildings in the Region of Southern Denmark have to change heating source before 2030. The project focus is on individual heat pumps, local heating where multiple buildings unite in a microgrid and district heating. This will be combined with energy renovation of buildings in order that the transition to green heating will be done via an energy efficiency dimension. 

Start date: November 2022 - End date: October 2025
