What was the event about?

Approximately half of all energy consumed in the EU is used for heating and cooling. With the EU targeting carbon neutrality for all heating and cooling by 2050, transitioning from natural gas to sustainable solutions is urgent.

In order to facilitate and accelerate the heating transition, policy-makers will need to tap on private investment. However, district heating projects tend to be complex and difficult to scale. What can be done to help overcome these challenges?
