Energy System
Heat Roadmap Europe provides the data that engineers need to decarbonise heating and cooling systems. The project has inspired EMB3Rs and is redesigning our energy sector. Heating and cooling is probably the most diverse sector of Europes energy system. But it has also been the least mapped - and PETA has changed this. Data has also revealed that right now, nations across Europe are home to vast, untapped excess heat resources, that could meet almost all heating demands. We could be using up to 30% of excess heat sources across all of Europe, says Vad Mathiesen. This will demand more than 21,500 new district heating systems to supply more heat to more buildings, as well as billion-Euro investment in better buildings until 2050. And we also need to refurbish our houses as much as we can, says Dr Zenaida Mourão. and focus on energy efficiency, says Mourão, says the project.

SSE and Equinors plan to build a hydrogen power station in the UK. To help navigate this topic I have provided a guide to hydrogen colours. It does not seem to make too much sense to use electricity to make hydrogen to then convert it.

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. There are no or only minor losses in the pipeline.
