OVERALL AIM

The Ecoheat4EU project aims to create the preconditions and initiate a transformation of national legislative frameworks to ensure the effective promotion of modern DHC systems.

BY:

* comprehensively surveying and analysing (support) legislation for DHC in a wide range of European countries;

and

* presenting policy-makers with tools to improve the legislative environment for DHC.

Ecoheat4EU

OBJECTIVES (1/2)

• Provide DHC stakeholders with relevant information on DHC (support) legislation employed throughout Europe

• Provide DHC stakeholders with analytical tools to assist in interactions with national policy-makers and for company strategies

• Achieve transformations in the national legislative/ policy frameworks to ensure better address of DHC needs

Ecoheat4EU

Ecoheat4EU

OBJECTIVES (2/2)

• Take into use a ‘District Heating Barometer’ that allows to measure the development of DH on national markets

• Achieve wide communication on the project outcomes.

KEY DELIVERABLES

1. Database on the project website with data on 14 participating countries

2. Recommendations for national policy-makers for 9 countries

3. ‘Road maps’ for DHC development for 5 countries

4. Paper for EU policy-makers with feedback on implementation of key EC Directives relating to DHC

5. DH Barometer functioning in 11 countries
