This report was produced by Amberside Advisors, a member of IPFA. 

District heating is expected to play a major role in the transition to net zero, but European markets are taking very different routes to decarbonisation. In this article, Maria Balyasna from Amberside Advisors, compares the experiences of Sweden, the Netherlands and Poland, exploring how fuel mix, market structure, ownership models and policy frameworks influence investment and delivery. It provides practical insights for infrastructure investors, public sector stakeholders and developers seeking to understand what makes low-carbon heat projects viable and scalable.
