Question 2

Why is district heating so important for Ireland?

Accepted Answer

Ireland has one of the lowest levels of renewable heat usage in Europe, with over 90% of buildings still reliant on fossil fuels for heating. District heating offers a scalable, efficient and cost-effective way to decarbonise our heat supply, making use of local renewable and waste heat sources.

Question 3

What is district heating?

Accepted Answer

District heating is a network of highly-insulated pipes that delivers low-carbon heat from a central energy source to provide space heating and hot water to the buildings connected to the network.

Question 4

What is waste heat?

Accepted Answer

Waste heat is a by-product of manufacturing and power generation, often released into air, sewers or waterways. District heating systems capture this heat and distribute it through insulated pipes to warm buildings and provide hot water to nearby homes and businesses.
