High Density Thermal Channels in Austria
The Upper Austrian Molasse Basin has the highest density of district heating projects. As a mid-term target achieving a renewable energy share of 46 to 50% until 2030 is set by Austrian National Energy and C imate Plan 2019 (NECP 2019). This large share of biomass is mainly due to more than 2,400 small biomass-based rural DH networks. This report represents the work completed by the author during the IIASA Young Scientists Summer Program (YSSP) with approval from the YSSP supervisor. Geothermal energy enables the use of geothermal energy for the sustainable and CO2-free supply of heating and cooling for both buildings and industrial applications.
