The toolkit overviews the technologies available to decarbonise district heating networks and provides some best practices. The toolkit is targeted at regional and local authorities, SMEs and civil society organisations, relevant stakeholders, such as in energy utility managers.

The key foundations for achieving climate-neutral heat generation include adopting power-to-heat technologies that leverage renewable electricity and ambient heat, harnessing solar thermal heat, and incorporating a share of deep geothermal energy in suitable regions.

Moreover, effective public planning for heating and cooling (H&C) is essential in the decarbonisation of this sector.
