A warm living room, a warm shower, a warm greenhouse with tomatoes — about 40% of the energy we use is spent on heating. A sustainable way of heating we can expect to increasingly see in the future is heating using a heat grid (also called ‘district heating’).
A warm living room, a warm shower, a warm greenhouse with tomatoes — about 40% of the energy we use is spent on heating. A sustainable way of heating we can expect to increasingly see in the future is heating using a heat grid (also called ‘district heating’).
A heat grid uses hot water to transfer heat from a heat source to buildings in a city or district. This results in lower carbon emissions and less use of natural gas. Gasunie can transport the heat from the source to the heat grid over a transmission main.
A heat grid is a network of pipes through which water heated using a renewable source, like geothermal heat or residual heat from industry, flows. The heat grid can heat homes, and also provide heating for commercial greenhouses for example. We have known for a long time that these heat grids really work, as Denmark has been using district heating for decades already.
Gasunie wants to invest in large-scale heat infrastructure and play a role in the management and maintenance of large-scale heat networks. A role that suits us perfectly, given our many years of experience with the management and maintenance of gas infrastructure.
WarmtelinQ
The Netherlands is working on a sustainable future, with lower carbon emissions and less natural gas. That is why Gasunie is installing WarmtelinQ.
The Netherlands wants to use less natural gas and emit less CO2. In urban areas, reusing residual heat from industries is a cost-efficient alternative.
