Hamburg is the District Heating Capitol of Germany
|
|
In Germany the use of district heating is not quite that widespread compared to in some other EU-countries. One exception, however, is Hamburg which has a vast district heating network supplying 19% of all households with district heating compared to just 8-14% in the rest of the country. Politicians in charge have declared that the district heating infrastructure will continue to be expanded; their goal is to connect 50,000 additional households to the district heating network by year 2020. |

With HafenCity a whole new city quarter has been created in the heart of Hamburg. It is currently the largest inner-city development project (155 hectares of harbour area!) - and it is setting standards throughout Europe with its mix of apartments, offices, recreational facilities, retail trade and culture. This is also true of its energy supply, as city planners chose the most sustainable and economically advantageous long-term solution: All buildings are supplied with district heating.
The goal for HafenCity was to develop an energy supply concept that fulfilled the strictest economic and environmental requirements. In essence, the concept is based on the combination of the existing, well-proven Hamburg district heating system with decentralised, local heating distribution units.
In addition, two new combined heat and power plants are planned in the Überseequartier and at the cruise ship terminal. Buildings which are mainly for residential use will be equipped with solar energy panels for the central domestic hot water supply.
For several projects the person in charge chose Danfoss systems and automatic controls. This sophisticated well proven technology and the comprehensive range of products on offer satisfy both installers and planners.
