As 41% of natural gas is used for heating of buildings, EU’s heavy dependency on its import from Russia makes the European heating sector highly vulnerable. Clean energy such as renewables and waste heat for heating must be a pillar of the EU’s energy security strategy, as they are vital to reduce energy dependency. The session, part of the official EUSEW18 Policy Conference, is covering various aspects of renewables and their uptake in the heating (and cooling) sector, strongly associated with the topics of energy efficiency. In addition to addressing the role of biomass and waste-heat, the main focus of the session will be on geothermal energy and its role in the decarbonisation of the heating sector.
Presentations will highlight various technical and non-technical aspects and barriers of renewables and waste heat, especially geothermal energy in order to
The session will provide an easy-to-understand and overall state-of-the art picture, instead of going into technical details, therefore participants are warmly welcome from all different fields including politicians, decision makers, layers, representatives of the financial sector and other non-technical experts, as well as the wider public.
After the presentations time will be allocated for the audience to express their views and engage in a discussion with the speakers.
