In this paper we present results of a global resource assessment for geothermal energy within deep aquifers for direct heat utilization. Greenhouse heating, spatial heating, and …
In this paper, we examine the electrification of the heating sector as a decarbonisation strategy, discuss its effectiveness, and preliminary assess its impact on the European power …
The use of heat pumps in district heating is one of the most promising technologies for enhancing the efficiency of systems and for meeting the 2030 and 2050 European energy …
The European Union (EU) countries, as one of the most economically developed regions in the world, are taking increasingly decisive actions to reduce the emission of harmful …
This paper investigates how the European electricity and heating system is impacted when medium-scale energy communities (ECs) are developed widely across Europe. We study …
The planning of an energy system with high penetration of renewables is becoming increasingly important to face environmental and energy security issues. Within bottom-up …
Decarbonisation of heating and cooling in the built environment has been recognised as a necessity to achieve any energy and climate change targets. Heat pumps (HP) are one of …
District energy systems are about to shift towards closer temperature configurations, ie low- temperature district heating and high-temperature district cooling. Challenges and benefits …
Because solar and wind resources are available throughout Europe, a transition to an electricity system based on renewables could simultaneously be a transition to an autarkic …
