Heat

With the phase-out of coal and natural gas power generation, the question arises: How can the decarbonisation of the heating networks in Germany succeed? There are currently numerous obstacles. Economically, long payback periods stand in the way of the heat transformation. Another obstacle to the rapid progress of the transformation process lies in the uncertainty of investors and plant planners regarding the technical possibilities and economically feasible application potentials of alternative heat generation technologies. The goal of the Dimension Heat is to develop a transformation strategy based on complex analyses of producers, grids, and consumers by establishing a joint test platform.
