Climate-neutral and affordable heating: The heat transition using the example of Berlin
0,00 €
This factsheet uses Berlin as an example to show how the heat transition can be achieved in a climate-neutral and affordable way – from the heating plan to the conversion of district heating and the use of heat pumps, geothermal energy and waste heat. It provides clear arguments as to why hydrogen, wood and waste incineration are not viable pathways, and sets policy parameters for transparency, social protection and real emission reduction.
Description
Heat supply is the largest single item in the climate balance. Around 40 percent of the capital's greenhouse gas emissions are generated by heating with coal, gas and heating oil. This does not only affect the climate: Producing and processing these fuels Significant damage in the countries of origin and make us dependent on mostly autocratically governed supplier states. The gas price crisis following Russia's war of aggression against Ukraine has shown how quickly this dependence can lead to life-threatening heating costs. In the meantime, further blackmail attempts by the Trump administration are being added. This shows that a heat transition is urgently needed!
