District heating networks are now one of the major levers of the territorial energy transition .
In Dijon Métropole , the development strategy is based on better utilization of recovered energy, the progressive extension of networks and the strengthening of energy performance commitments.
In Besançon , the extension of the network from 24 to 74 km aims for 90% renewable energy by 2030, combining biomass and waste heat in a sustainable territorial model.
The workshop will also present financing tools such as CCRTs, which facilitate the development of RES beyond densely populated areas.
MANERGY supports local authorities in their energy transition, particularly through heating and cooling networks, key levers for decarbonization. In a context of variable energy costs and diversifying resources, these networks also contribute to the flexibility of the energy system and the development of green electricity.
Finally, AMORCE will share recent developments and points of vigilance for communities carrying out projects or engaged in decarbonization through heat networks.
