How the Copenhagen District Heating System supports and benefits from sector coupling

Introduction of how the Copenhagen District Heating System supports and benefits from sector coupling and effectively decarbonizes the heat supply

We will share insights of how the Copenhagen District Heating System supports and benefits from sector coupling, and at the same time effectively decarbonizes the heat supply in Copenhagen.
Sector coupling and integration are terms for connecting and integrating various actors in the energy system to take advantages of synergies. The most known and applied sector coupling is cogeneration of heat and power. The Copenhagen energy systems consist of waste incinerations, wastewater treatment plants, CPH plants, heat pumps, Electric boilers, thermal energy storages, and peak and reserve boilers.

This coupling of the heating, cooling and the power sector together unlocks large opportunities to take advantage of synergies between these sectors.
With the sector coupling and multi-source operation, Copenhagen district heating can continuously switch between fuels to fulfill its goals.

What to learn more about:
• Secure and reliable heat supply.
• Ability to handle supply disruptions.
• Environmentally friendly heat supply.
• Very low pollution levels from heat generation.
