District heating (also known as heat networks or teleheating) is a system for distributing heat generated in a centralized location for residential and commercial heating requirements such as space heating and water heating. The heat is often obtained from a cogeneration plant burning fossil fuels but increasingly also biomass, although heat-only boiler stations, geothermal heating, heat pumps and central solar heating are also used, as well as nuclear power. District heating plants can provide higher efficiencies and better pollution control than localised boilers. According to some research, district heating with combined heat and power (CHPDH) is the cheapest method of cutting carbon emissions, and has one of the lowest carbon footprints of all fossil generation plants. CHPDH is being developed in Denmark as a store for renewable energy, particularly wind energy, that exceeds instantaneous grid demand via the use of heat pumps and thermal stores.
Heat generation
Heat sources in use for various district heating systems include: power plants designed for combined heat and power (CHP, also called co-generation), including both combustion and nuclear power plants; and simple combustion of a fossil fuel or biomass; geothermal heat; solar heat; industrial heat pumps which extract heat from seawater, river or lake water, sewage, or waste heat from industrial processes.

Low temperature zones in district heating with Grundfos iGRID
The iGRID Temperature Zone enables delivery of the exact temperatures required. By dividing the city into smaller zones where demands are lower, temperatures are reduced to a given setpoint or on-demand by mixing return water into the supply line to reach the needed supply temperature for the zone.

Sustainable energy for 30,000 district heating customers
Low-NOx in the large output range: The double-flame tube boilers used in the Trmice heating plant generate up to 192 t/h of steam with particularly low NOx emissions of less than 60 mg/m³. The new Bosch boilers are part of various environmental measures at the heating plant and support the conversion to environmentally friendly heat generation. In total, the district heating supplier provides heat to around 30,000 customers in the Czech Republic.

Datacenter as cornerstone of sustainable district heating at Zurich Airport City
Interxion contributes to more sustainability in the Zurich airport region. Interxion's data centers are the heat source for the Airport City energy network. This is planned and operated by Elektra Basel-Land (EBL) on behalf of Energie Opfikon and supplies the airport region with sustainable district heating and cooling. This leads to a reduction in CO2 emissions of 15,000t per year.
