The aim of the project was to explore the technical potential for the integration of industrial waste heat in DH systems and the evaluation of the associated integration of large heat storage, large heat pumps, back-up systems and the identification of innovative financing options for the realization of the associated investments. The Heat Merit Order Tool was applied to elaborate the network and storage functioning.
