About the project
The aim of the project is to assess and study the potential of surplus heat and other heat sources for supplying district heating systems in seaport cities. These cities have several unique characteristics which should be explored, promoted, and used. The strategic goals include reducing the ecological footprint and decarbonization, as well as energy security, i.e. reducing dependence on imported fossil fuels. The considered heat sources include industrial processes, waste management, and the use of hydrogen (local electrolyzer or "H2-Ready" CHP plant, also based on hydrogen imported by sea). The role of public utilities will be discussed including district heating companies, and the business models for their cooperation with the industry and seaports.
