Danfoss
Summary
Danfoss is pleased to announce its participation in this year’s Euroheat and Power Congress, taking place in Torino, Italy from May 22-24. The congress theme, “District Energy: The Local Solution to Global Challenges”, will focus on how district heating and cooling (DHC) networks can enable local energy transitions and help cities decarbonize.
On May 23rd, Anton Koller, Divisional President Hydronics at Danfoss Climate Solutions, will participate in the opening session, “A new era for District Heating and Cooling (DHC) solutions”. The session will examine how the on-going energy uncertainty has accelerated the need for clean heating technologies that can reduce the reliance on natural gas. Panelists will also address what the industry and policymakers can do to unlock the potential of DHC networks. As Danfoss’ representative on the panel, Anton Koller will focus on how excess heat – the world’s largest untapped energy source – can help pave a greener, safer route out of the energy crisis.
“Europe has set an ambitious target to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 55% by 2030 and to become carbon neutral in 2050. The heat transition is a key pillar to achieve this goal, as heating and cooling represent half of the block’s total final energy consumption. That’s also why district heating and its gradual decarbonization play a particularly important role in the new Energy Efficiency Directive. Decision makers must act – from an environmental perspective and in the interests of increasing energy security and making us independent of gas imports. We see countries taking reactive emergency measures, such as firing up old coal-fired power stations and signing new nuclear and liquefied natural gas (LNG) leases,” he says. “Regrettably, decision makers often overlook that there is a readily available, greener, cheaper and safer alternative, namely, smarter use of the energy we already have. One way to do that is by using the vast amounts of energy that are currently wasted across sectors.”
