When wind power is abundant and spot prices are negative (which occurs in Finland about 700 hours per year, including winter) this #sandBattery takes excess electricity off the grid, stores 250 megawatt-hours (MWh) heat in hot sand, and afterwards feed 2 megawatts (MW) into the #districtHeating grid

Comencem a treballar en un dels projectes pilots del projecte europeu #MUSEDHC #LIFE.

🎯 Consisteix en desenvolupar una xarxa de calor al nucli de Vinyoles (Masies de Voltregà), amb l'ajuntament de Masies de Voltregà i la Comunitat Energètica Local Voltregà Energia com a protagonistes.

Conjuntament amb Osona Energia Cooperativa (OECoop) i la resta de socis del projecte #MUSEDHC realitzem l'acompanyament necessari per dur a bon port el projecte.

District heating in Finland has started using electric boilers and heat pumps as source for household heating in cities. Thus electricity replaces using Fossil fuels (or biomass) when electricity is cheap - which happens when the winds are strong.

POSCO International has signed an MOU with Ulaanbaatar to develop a district heating project using wastewater heat, targeting 4,000 new households and potential expansion into Central Asia.

How waste heat from Hamburg’s copper smelter is warming the city but not the planet.

Hamburg, in northern Germany, is home to a one-of-a-kind district heating system.

The hot water that supplies it is largely obtained from waste heat from the city’s copper smelter, meaning no CO2 is released.

🔥 Connecting for climate-friendly heat
At the end of June, the EnerNet network meeting brought together key players in local and district heating at the Future Energy Lab in Wunsiedel.

The event was hosted by UBT and organized by Hof University’s iwe institute — fostering exchange for a more sustainable energy future. ⚡🌱

Cologne gets Europe's largest river water heat pump.

Cologne is decarbonising its district heating system. To this end, a heat pump with a capacity of 150 megawatts is being built on the Rhine.

The heat pump will supply Cologne's district heating network and will be the largest river water heat pump in Europe.

😎With longer & warmer days it is easy to forget #heatingcosts

But recent world events should make the EU secure affordable #localheating solutions for #EUcitizens, like #biomass local space heaters & #districtheating

Interesting insights also in the combination of solar PV and district heating (power to heat): electric boilers with very (price) responsive demand, heat pumps with 'slower' optimisation.
Bottom left graph shows how heating has become much more price responsive over the years.

This video has a mixed message as far as solutions go...
it offers NO solution at how the electricity power is generated. By BURNING waste and/or biomatter.
It does offer a solution as far as the generated energy is used twice; 1 Electricity and 2 Heatstorage.
And I hope I don't have to explain the benefits of #DistrictHeating but there are better solutions, cold-water-storage [40 °C - 70 °C]

"Why a city in Sweden filled these caves with almost boiling water" [12:12 min]

"Dec 27, 2024 #PlanetA #DistrictHeating #EnergyStorage
Somewhere below the Swedish city of Västerås, there's a big man-made cave. During the Cold War, it was used to store oil. But the local energy company decided to clean it, pump it full of water and heat it up. Here's why they did that."

World's largest (so far!) heat pump to heat 30k Finnish homes, powered by #cleanenergy

Air-water heat pump powering district heating, where a group of homes/buildings share a heating system. Common on US campuses, but not with clean energy (yet)

Shared systems relieve individual residents from $ of converting from #fossilfuels, can use existing distribution set up as gas, etc. Can seem less foreign to public.

**World’s largest CO2-based seawater heat pump goes online**

This heat pump itself, and the system it is part of (e.g. e-boiler) is responsive to the electricity system: on a huge scale what many ‘small’ residential heat pumps can also do: adjust consumption (very quickly for frequency regulation, or longer in time to match renewable electricity generation)
