District heating warms cities without fossil fuels

LONDON, 15 January, 2018
– Heating homes and offices without adding to the dangers of climate change is a major challenge for many cities, but re-imagined district heating is now offering an answer.




Sweden has pioneered the switch from fossil fuels to other ways of heating water. The Swedish Environmental Protection Agencysays the country has gone from almost exclusively relying on fossil fuels to being 90% powered by renewable and recycled heat in 2017.
The system uses biofuels – wood chips, wood pellets and bio-oil – as well as household waste and recovered heat from the city’s data centres and industries. It also draws energy from the sea using large heat pumps, Rylander said.
