Modernizing District Heating Networks: A Strategic Decision-Support Framework for Sustainable Retrofitting by Reza Bahadori, Matthias Speich, Silvia Ulli-Beer

“…For example, the development of decision-support tools enables stakeholders to systematically evaluate and select grid modernization strategies, directly helping to reduce transmission losses and lower greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions contributing to climate goals and enhancing energy security. Indeed, as shown in the reviewed literature, retrofitting high-temperature district heating networks with low-temperature distribution and integrating renewables can lead to near-complete decarbonization of the supplied heat. …”
