REUSEHEAT

Reuse of excess heat available on an urban scale.

Description

The objective of the ReUseHeat project is to demonstrate pioneering, advanced, modular and replicable systems that make it possible to reuse the available excess heat at urban scale.

ReUseHeat will address technical and non-technical barriers to mobilize heat recovery projects and investments in urban environments throughout Europe. Four large-scale demonstrations will be carried out to show the technical and economic feasibility of recovering / reusing excess heat in data centers (Brunswick), urban sewage water networks (Nice), cooling systems in hospitals (Madrid) and a metro station (Berlin).

Objectives

  • To demonstrate advanced, modular and replicable systems to reuse the excess heat available at urban scale.
  • To create awareness and a demand for investment in urban waste heat recovery.
  • To promote the involvement of various agents in order to accept this type of investment.
  • To accelerate the market penetration and facilitate implementation through a handbook.

Actions

  • Mapping of urban heat recovery potential in the EU.
  • New business models and contractual schemes.
  • Implementation of 4 recovery solutions in urban environments adapted to different types of sources: data centers, hospitals, U-railway, wastewater.
  • Monitoring and control systems.
  • Performance and impact evaluation of project demonstrations.
  • Dissemination, communication and exploitation of results.

Expected results

  • 4 excess heat recovery demonstrations in real urban environments: data centers, hospitals, U-railway and wastewater infrastructures.

  • ‘ReUseHeat handbook’: Guide for future investors, including recommendations on efficient technologies, business and contractual models, risk estimation and authorization procedures.

  • Map the energy potential available in urban waste heat sources throughout Europe.
