Deliverable 6.1 – 29-11-2016
The progRESsHEAT project
The project progRESsHEAT aims at assisting policy makers at the local, regional, national and
EU-level in developing integrated, effective and efficient policy strategies achieving a fast and
strong penetration of renewable and efficient heating and cooling systems. Together with 6 local
authorities in 6 target countries across Europe (AT, DE, CZ, DK, PT, RO) heating and cooling
strategies will be developed through a profound analysis of (1) heating and cooling demands and
future developments, (2) long-term potentials of renewable energies and waste heat in the
regions, (3) barriers & drivers and (4) a model based assessment of policy intervention in
scenarios up to 2050. progRESsHEAT will assist national policy makers in implementing the right
policies with a model-based quantitative impact assessment of local, regional and national
policies up to 2050.
Policy makers and other stakeholders will be strongly involved in the process, learn from the
experience in other regions and gain deep understanding of the impact of policy instruments and
their specific design. They are involved in the project via policy group meetings, workshops,
interviews and webinars targeted to the fields of assistance in policy development, capacity
building and dissemination.

Deliverable 6.1 – 29-11-2016
1. Background
Awareness and basic knowledge are essential prerequisites for strengthening technology uptake-
processes in the field of renewable heating and cooling. To fulfil these prerequisites it is crucial to
train and build the capacities of human resources. Therefore, it is necessary to identify the
training needs in the respective municipalities to develop suitable capacity building material for
the respective target groups. This report represents deliverable 6.1. as part of work package
(WP) 6 in the project progRESsHEAT. It defines the training needs and topics in the six
municipalities with respect to the related target groups.
2. Approach
To identify the local needs in the six municipalities a first survey was sent out to the local partners
in Ansfelden (Austria), Helsingor (Denmark), Herten (Germany), Litomerice (Czech Republic) and
Matosinhos (Portugal). The structure of the survey is based on the topics stated in the grant
agreement for Task 6.2 as well as the outcoming results from the other WP, especially WP 2, WP
3 and WP 5.
In the following, the topics are briefly described:
Current state of overall energy supply and demand
The structure of energy supply and energy demand changed a lot in the past view years and will
change even more in the future. Additionally, the structure and the demand is very diverse in
different regions and countries. It is important to be informed about the current state and the
future changes in order to be able to estimate market opportunities and risks of the energy sector
especially for the heating sector.
Status quo regarding heating and cooling
It is obvious that a high percentage of final energy is consumed by the heating and cooling sector.
In Germany for instance, private households consume around ¼ of the final energy for heating
and cooling. And the heating demand is still rising in this group. Residential buildings are clearly
the most important factor regarding RES heating and cooling technologies to achieve Europes
climate goals. But also the consume of final energy in industry and the service sector plays an
important role. To implement new RES technologies it is necessary to demonstrate which
technologies are currently being used and if a trend to more efficient and therefore RES is
existing in this sector. This differs from country to country and need to be investigated.
Barriers and drivers
The main influencing factors for RES regarding heating and cooling are the legal framework,
market conditions and the public opinion/public awareness. For instance does the German heat
law promote the generation of heat from RES and sets obligations for owners of new buildings,
which is a driver for RES in this field. Barriers can be the scepticism towards the new
technologies by the potential customer, identifiying and selecting suitable qualified consultants or
the lack of knowledge to obtain funding for modernisation of the heating system. If barriers are
6
Deliverable 6.1 – 29-11-2016
identified, they are easier to overcome. Barriers as well as drivers in all participating
municipalities will be identified to further analyse, if solutions for overcoming those barriers exist.
Regulations and procedures
Renewable energy technologies and their built up always go hand in hand with regulations on EU
and national level. An overview of relevant legislation is crucial to understand the translation not
only on national, but also on local and regional level. Next to the regulations, it is important how,
for instance, permitting procedures will be implemented depending upon the political goals or
objectives under consideration (e. g. urban application vs. rural application).
Description of main renewable technologies
There are different kind of RES which can be used, among others, for heating and cooling
applications. Each of the RES provides an alternative to the traditional energy generation and can
be replaced. The technologies will be explained with focus on their potentials, cost and
effectivness.
Financial aspects
Financial aspects are crucial for the implementation of RES in the heating and cooling sector.
Renewable energy technologies are clean sources of energy that have a much lower
environmental impact than conventional energy technologies. Therefore, the training material
should include calculation examples for the integration of RES in the heating sector, examples to
operation cost and possible savings, as well as an overview of possible support schemes.
Furthermore, this topic will consider affiliated effects like new business models, job creation
(renewable energy investments are usally spent in the municipality or country) and the promotion
of related goals due to the implementation of renewable technologies.
The first aggregation of responses1 in Q1/2016 from the local partners could only draw a
comprehensive conclusion with very few to no priorities for the capacity material package. To
further specify the capacity building material needs and the to be adressed respective target
groups a second survey was implemented in September/October 2016 to receive improved
results. Therefore, it was asked to identify the main three topics, the capacity material should
focus on regarding technology and financial aspects for each target group (policy makers and
industry stakeholder).
3. Results
1st survey started in 02/2016
As mentioned before, the first survey in February represented only an overview over topics, that
are generally of interest for the target groups in the respective municipalities. A definition of
priorities and focus subjects was due to the broad feedback not feasible (see Table 1: First survey
result of capacity material topics).

Deliverable 6.1 – 29-11-2016
The only conclusion is, that the topics hydropower and wind as well as biogas will play a minor
role in all capacity building workshops. In contrast to this, the topics solar thermal, heat pumps,
photovoltaic and waste will play a major role regarding RES technologies in the workshops.
Further more, business models will also be a thematic priority as well as best practices and
support schemes for industry representatives and job creation for policy makers in the financial
aspects category.
2nd
survey started in 09/2016
To identify thematic priorities of the relevant stakeholders, the survey (including the first results)
from 02/2016 was sent out to the local partners again with the task to identify three priorities for
each target group for:
▪ Technical description of main technologies
▪ Financial aspects
The first four topics
▪ Current state of overall energy supply and demand
▪ Status quo regarding heat and cooling
▪ Barriers and drivers
▪ Regulations at local/regional/national/EU level
were excluded from this task, because a priorisation is not necessary in these categories.
3.1 Ansfelden
In the case of Ansfelden, regional goals and measures relating to the heating and cooling sector
apply since the regional government is in charge of developing and implementing the
energy strategy and action plan. Renewable energy and energy efficiency considerations
are a key aspect when planning the development of the municipality's infrastructure:
renovation of public buildings, new construction, development of commercial or residential areas,
extension of the district heating network, etc. The municipality of Ansfelden foresees further
developments in their region in the coming years, including a number of new areas (residential
and commercial).
Current unexploited potentials have also been identified: waste heat from a pulp and
paper industry in the municipality, solar energy on large commercial roof surfaces, etc.
The municipality is already working with a local energy distribution company on various projects
related to energy efficiency, renewable heating and cooling. They strive to better understand the
local needs and potentials. Key questions for the municipality are:
▪ How can Ansfelden achieve the highest possible amount of renewable energy for space
heating (and cooling)?
▪ Which energy mix and how much CO2-reductions can be achieved at what price?
The feedback of the local partner is in line with that and the results of the second survey is shown
in Table 2: Survey results Ansfelden.

3.2 Brasov
In Romania and therefore in Brasov is currently no proper assessment available on the potential
for the application of high-efficiency cogeneration and efficient district heating and cooling.
Currently, only 9.84 % of the total number of apartments in Brasov are connected to the district
heating system. Due to the national legislation on certain territorial areas for the obligation to use
a unitary system, there is a lack of investment in the district heating network and therefore, a lack
for maintenance and repair and decreasing number of connected households. The local authority
has set main objectives for example in order to gain consumers and to have a modernized and
reliable district heating system. Therefore, also different target groups within the local authorities,
like the urban development, financing, the technical as well as the project implementation
department have to be addressed with the subject. The feedback of topics in Brasov from the
local partners is shown in Table 3: Survey results Brasov.

3.3 Helsingør
In general, Denmark’s focus to reach its heating targets is primarily placed on two technologies:
district heating and heat pumps. Today, around 60 % of Denmark’s heat consumers receive their
supply from district heating.
Until now, there are no specific, quantified targets in Helsingør specifically for the heating and
cooling sector as it is not specified how to reach the region’s long-term goals in each sector.
Instead, it is intended to promote various support measures that aim at contributing to these
goals. The municipality will support sustainable heating facilities (e. g. waste heat from waste
water treatment plants) and innovations generating efficiency gains (e. g. insulation of houses). It
will also focus on measures intending to expand the district heating network to both existing
houses and new buildings. Topics in Helsingør for the capacity building workshop are shown in

3.4 Herten
In Herten exists the Klimaschutzplan 2020plus, which helps to develop pathways to achive
targets set by the community until 2050. Until 2050, Herten wants to be nearly CO2-free
(reduction of emissions by CO2 95 % compared to the reference value in 1990).
The targets in the Klimaschutzplan 2020plus with regard to the heating and cooling sector are presented in the following:
▪ Until 2050 3.000.000 m² residential and commercial building area has to be energetically modernized.
▪ The share of renewables on heat generation has to be increased up to 60 % until 2050 compared to the reference value in 1990.
▪ The share of CHP in electricity generation has to be increased up to 60 % until 2050 compared to the reference value in 1990.
The heat for the district heating network in Herten is currently provided by coal fired CHPs. However, it is already planned to change this. Within the city a waste incineration plant is located, which is currently producing unused waste heat. It is planned to use this heat for the DH network. The heat shall be integrated until 2020. The priorisation of the topics are in line with the Klimaschutzplan 2020plus and shown in Table 5: Survey results Herten.

3.5 Litoměřice
Regarding the heating and cooling sector, only one specific target exists in the Czech Republic:
14 % of the heat demand will be provided by RES by 2020 as defined in the National Renewable
Action plan (2012). On local level regarding the City of Litoměřice, the objective is to reduce
energy consumption by 20 % until the year 2030 (reference value is 2012). Regarding district
heating, the City of Litoměřice is preparing the implementation of a geothermal heat plant for the
support of the district heating network which is currently fuelled by lignite. In 2000, the city
established a municipal fund supporting the installation of solar systems and in 2014 a Municipal
Energy saving Fund was set up to invest saved money into new energy saving measures.
Additionally, the city started to install roof photovoltaic systems to further reduce emissions.
Consumers shall be motivated to invest in RES technologies by giving good examples of the
public administration and support schemes as mentioned above. The topics for capacity building
are shown in Table 6: Survey results Litoměřice.

3.6 Matosinhos
On national level, Portugals targets are to limit the increase of GHG emissions until 2020 to
additionally 1 % compared to the reference year 2005. Furthermore, 31 % of the gross final
energy consumption shall be covered by RES until then.
The energy supply of Matosinhos is mainly covered by fossil fuels. A refinerey is located in
Matosinhos and 52 % of primary energy consumed is caused by the production of refinery
products based on crude oil. Additionaly 34 % of primary energy consumption is caused by
electricity production. Only 27 % of electricity is being produced by RES. The local targets of
Matosinhos are
▪ Decrease of 21 % GHG emissions by 2020 (reference year 2008)
▪ No local target to increase the share of RES
▪ Decrease of 21 % of energy consumption by 2020 (reverence year 2008)
A district heating network is not yet existing in the City of Matosinhos nor in Portugal except the
district heating and cooling network in Lisbon. Due to the weather conditions (and due to cultural
reasons), residential buildings in Portugal tend to have only modest heat demand and negligible
cool demand. Heating systems are almost exclusively individual and tend to be either fireplaces
or natural gas/LPG/diesel boilers/furnaces. Even heat pumps are still a rarity in Portuguese
houses. There might be potential for the process waste heat involving a large wood products
factory and the location close to a number of large services buildings with respective heating and
cooling demand.
