Sustainable Finance for Heating and Cooling
|
|
World leaders agree that we need to see an energy transition taking place within a few years to mitigate climate change. There are more green financial instruments than ever before from major funders and investors supporting sustainable solutions. Still, it is very challenging for cities and heating and cooling providers to find adequate capital allowing them to finance projects deploying technologies that will enable a leap in the energy transition.
In the hopes to help cities overcome the financing barriers, this month the Celsius Initiative will focus on sustainable finance for heating and cooling.
Below you will find some concrete examples of sustainable financing solutions and on Tuesday March 16 at 10:00 CET you are kindly invited to join us for the Celsius Talk and Smart Cities Marketplace Action Cluster meeting on sustainable finance for heating and cooling.

A New Heating and Cooling Initiative
|
|
Celsius has officially launched an Initiative focussing on Heating & Cooling as part of the Action Cluster Sustainable Districts & Built Environment of the Smart Cities Marketplace. The aim is to share the knowledge gathered from the Celsius Initiative and the Celsius Cities to inspire further uptake of solutions, and to benchmark the projects underway against Smart Cities Marketplace members’ activities.

A pioneering project for sustainable energy in Greece.
As the world keeps looking to sustainable energy solutions, geothermal energy exploration can be essential for those countries with access to it. During the next 18 months, Greece will implement and complete a new project to explore the Antheia-Aristino low-enthalpy geothermal field near Alexandroupolis, financed in part by the ERDF.

In order to decarbonise the energy system in the shortest possible time, it is essential to implement practicable and available solutions now and that all the relevant stakeholders at the EU, national and local level, are involved in a harmonised way.
During this webinar we explored how to develop successful action plans to retrofit DH networks in Europe, learning from concrete case studies from the EU projects UpgradeDH and KeepWarm. Our speakers analysed expected legislative challenges and recommended solutions to successfully overcome them.
