  • First Online:
District Heating and Cooling Networks in the European Union

  • 892 Accesses

Abstract

The aim of this chapter is to identify actions that dissipate the institutional and financial barriers that are faced by those energy projects which comprise the joint use of district heating networks

Having that sort of market potential is probably something that’s enticing them a lot more than any regulatory barriers.

—Ryan Eggers, California Energy Commission
