Towards a flexible, cross-sectoral energy supply – special focus on the flexibility provision via the heating sector
The workshop is part of the 7th Central European Biomass Conference CEBC2023.
Conference programme
Registration
A sustainable energy supply can only be achieved by a flexible, cross-sectoral energy system utilizing the specific advantages of the various renewable technologies. In this workshop possible roles of different technologies will be discussed based on a previous discussion of the users’ needs among the different sectors. A special focus will be given on the flexibility provision via the heating sector. By bringing together different users, representing municipal and industrial energy supply, and technological experts from different IEA Technology Collaboration Programmes (TCPs) the workshop will encourage a holistic discussion.
