Why district heating
District heating is a form of heating that consists of the distribution through (underground) insulated pipe networks of hot, overheated water or steam from a production plant.
In district heating power plants, heat is generated through boilers (fired with fossil fuel or with biomass), cogeneration plants or heat pump systems that harness geothermal renewable energy.
It is a reliable and efficient system, a source of heat which is highly sustainable and competitive.
