Heating soaks up a huge amount of energy demand and is responsible for an equally significant amount of carbon emissions. Technology likes heatpumps and more efficient buildings are starting to have an impact on both accounts.Bankwatch Network’s Morgan Henley, the group’s head of EU heating decarbonisation campaigning, joins the Policy Dispatch to lift the lid on district heating in Central and Eastern Europe.The region is a district heating heartland thanks to its legacy Soviet infrastructure. A lot of decarbonisation still needs to be done but it appears that it has all the tools needed to make a big dent in heating’s carbon footprint.Morgan provides plenty of insights on which countries are leading the way, what policymakers need to bear in mind and why Europe should realise that district heating is potentially an industry that it could lead the world in.Enjoy the show!Download our award-winning app and enjoy access to all exclusive features.
