Summary
This project aimed to promote the use of biomass for district heating with an exemplary realisation in Sweden. District heating is a major biomass user at about 100PJ/yr (in a network of close to 200 district heating plants for a nominal load of about 24 GW). The well-developed district heating systems in Sweden therefore provide an important opportunity for the use of biomass. This case study was included in the results of the WP-6 of EU - OPET CHP/DH project. Partners were six organizations in the OPET network: EPU-NTUA (Greece), ZERI (China), EREC, CSFTA, ISNOVA (Italy) and ENEA (Italy). Activities included the development of case studies to disseminate EU energy information and increase the awareness of OPET in China. The main result was t o further improve awareness among Chinese energy actors concerning EU energy policies, energy efficient and renewable energy technologies, products, and management mechanisms.
This case study is one of 31 Good Practice Case Studies published by the OPET Network in 2005
