PA2 has commissioned a study on promoting green district heating in the Danube Region. The study – prepared by MATÁSZSZ, the Hungarian Association of District Heating Companies – provides a detailed overview of the district heating sector in 6 EUSDR countries (BiH, HR, RO, SK, SI, SRB), as well as their geothermal potential with the aim to foster the greening of these fossil-fuel based systems.
Hungary has significant experience in the use of geothermal energy for district heating in both the EU27 and the Danube Region. The aim is to transfer this experience and knowledge of geothermal energy utilization opportunities for district heating in a series of events to be implemented in zthe investigated countries. The report also offers a summary on the main available funding sources concerned to prepare and implement potential future investments.
