Ecoheat4eu
The Intelligent Energy Europe supported “Ecoheat4eu” project, coordinated by Euroheat & Power in the framework of the DHC+ Technology Platform, started in June 2009.
The project aimed to survey and analyze the legislative framework for DHC in 14 European countries and provide recommendations to policy makers on how to optimize the national legislative scene for DHC, also drawing up comprehensive road maps with a strategy for DHC development for several selected countries. Furthermore a tool is devised to measure up-to-date the development of DH on the national market: the ‘DH Barometer’.

Summerheat
Euroheat & Power is a partner in Summerheat project analysing meeting cooling needs in summer by applying heat from cogeneration. The waste heat from CHP-technologies and incineration plants in district heating networks can be used as a heat source for the operation of chillers. This offers various benefits: on the one hand, an increased use will improve the overall economics of the whole power park of the district heating system in general and of CHP-plants and incineration in particular. On the other hand the increased use of Summerheat is more energy efficient than standard cooling systems and will support the reduction of CO2-emissions in the EU.
Project co-ordinator is Berliner Energieagentur GmbH and the participating countries include: Germany, Austria, Czech Republic, France, Denmark, Poland, Belgium.
Heat and cooling projects
Euroheat & Power has been carrying out the project on heat and cooling markets co-financed by European Commission (1 January 2005 -31 December 2006).
The project demonstrated that district heating and district cooling grids have a huge potential for improvement and growth, offering higher energy efficiency and higher security supply with the benefit of lower carbon dioxide emissions to the European Union. With its large outreach to both professionals and policymakers, the Ecoheatcool project has become a reference for district heating and cooling sectors.

DHCAN project - SAVE
The project "District Heating & Cooling/CHP: Promotional Materials for candidate countries Pilot action in Hungary and Romania" ( DHCAN) started in January 2003 and is co-financed by European Commission (under SAVE Programme).
Euroheat & Power is a partner in this project, led by the British Research Establishment. The project objective is to promote the energy saving and environmental potential of district heating and cooling/CHP in the Candidate Countries
