Berlin Position Paper Renewable: How do we create climate-friendly district heating in Berlin?

District heating pipeline

On the occasion of the remunicipalisation of Vattenfall Wärme AG, the Berlin Renewable Alliance is calling for Berlin to receive genuinely climate-friendly district heating.

The heating sector is responsible for almost half of climate-damaging emissions in Berlin, and Berlin has one of the largest district heating networks in Europe. Decarbonising district heating is therefore central to meeting climate targets. The Berlin Senate must now set the course for a renewable heat supply. We are committed to this task for reasons of both inner-city and international climate justice.
