Renewable and waste heat recovery for competitive district heating and cooling networks

Overview

Interest in sustainable investments is growing continuously. Against this background, the project aims to investigate the extent to which local heating networks can be developed as a new asset class in the field of sustainable investments and how investors can be attracted. Due to the high investment volumes and the long-term investment horizon, the focus is on public institutions and various institutional investors (e.g. investment funds, insurance companies, pension funds).

Procedure

First, the various projects are analysed with regard to their risk/return ratio and their sustainability effects, and innovative financing concepts are developed. An exchange with potential investors is also planned.

Targeted results

The aim of the work package, in which the HFT is involved, is to develop business models and financing solutions and to mobilise public and private investment.
