Green heat transition

In addition to the expansion of renewable energies and power grids, the green heat transition is increasingly coming into focus. High temperatures for industrial processes, hot water, and in particular the heating of spaces account for around half of the energy in Germany. For the energy transition to succeed, a switch to renewable energies for heat generation and the associated expansion and conversion of existing heating networks and construction of new heating networks is essential. In addition to large heat pumps or deep geothermal energy, waste heat potentials from industry or data centers are to be utilized through heating networks.
