PROJECT TITLE: “Comprehensive model of waste heat utilization in CE regions”
Project duration: 36 months (01.06.2016. – 31.05.2019)
CE-HEAT aims to improve the governance of energy efficiency by focusing on the field of waste heat utilisation. This field was identified as one of the most pressing issues at the regional and local level but little success was achieved in the past. To improve governance in waste heat utilisation, better and comprehensive planning and monitoring tools are needed. The CE-HEAT partnership will bring new solutions through:
- Providing an excellent analytical and monitoring platform based on the establishment of GIS based regional waste heat cadastres with waste heat sources classification and a monitoring tool;
- Providing a comprehensive solution for managing waste heat utilization projects and strategies based on the development of a waste heat utilisation toolbox (leading stakeholders participation process, establishing feasibility etc);
- Incorporating a new approach into local, regional and national strategies by integrating a new cadastre and toolbox into existing spatial planning and energy management systems and spreading it throughout central Europe and beyond.
The first-level target group of CE-HEAT are regional and local energy policy makers and spatial planners. Therefore, regional steering groups will be established to achieve a good level of integration and compatibility. The second level target group are waste heat producers, potential investors and local stakeholders. The project's transnational approach will enable partners to use different experiences, knowledge and competences to find solutions to a common problem in a common legal environment. It will also bring added value because solutions (cadastre and toolbox) will be tested through pilot projects in very different scenarios. Solutions developed will consequently have much higher quality and bigger transfer potential.
