Cold local heating is a heat supply with relatively low temperatures. The principle of heat supply is particularly interesting with regard to climate protection. It allows waste heat from industry or renewable energies to be used. A feasibility study must prove that lower temperatures will save costs, energy or CO2 emissions. This article shows exactly what cold local heating means, where its advantages lie and what subsidies are available. It also includes some practical examples of this type of heat. For the BMWi, heat pumps and seasonal large-scale storage systems offer the opportunity to supply building stock difficult to insulate with high proportions of climate- Climate-friendly heat. The BMWi is initially funding feasibility studies with up to 60 percent of the cost of a heat grid system 4.0, and in a second step the realization of the project is expected to cost up to 50 percent of total eligible costs are estimated to be realized.
