Kick-off and baseline analysis<\/div>

The project is launched and the energy systems and material flows of selected urban areas are analysed.\nAt this stage:<\/p>

  • demolition and side streams are mapped (e.g. concrete-based materials, biochar)\u00a0\u00a0<\/li>
  • heat consumption and peak loads are examined\u00a0\u00a0<\/li>
  • key stakeholders are identified.<\/li><\/ul><\/div><\/div><\/div>
    <\/div>
    <\/div>
    Area inventories and selection of target sites<\/div>

    Next, two different urban areas are examined in more detail:<\/p>

    • material and energy inventories are carried out\u00a0\u00a0<\/li>
    • locally available circular-economy materials suitable for heat storage are identified\u00a0\u00a0<\/li>
    • more detailed target sites and concepts are selected.<\/li><\/ul><\/div><\/div><\/div>
      <\/div>
      <\/div>
      Development of heat storage concepts<\/div>

      Based on the inventories:<\/p>

      • materials and solutions suitable for short- and long-term storage are defined\u00a0\u00a0<\/li>
      • different alternatives are modelled and compared\u00a0\u00a0<\/li>
      • impacts on emissions, peak loads and costs are assessed.<\/li><\/ul><\/div><\/div><\/div>
        <\/div>
        <\/div>
        Business models and investment pathways<\/div>
        • the market and actor landscape are analysed\u00a0\u00a0<\/li>
        • circular economy and revenue models for heat storages are developed\u00a0\u00a0<\/li>
        • tools are produced to support investment and decision\u2011making.<\/li><\/ul><\/div><\/div><\/div>
          <\/div>
          <\/div>
          Energy partnerships and dissemination of results <\/div>
          • new energy partnerships and service models are built and tested\u00a0\u00a0<\/li>
          • workshops are organized with stakeholders\u00a0\u00a0<\/li>
          • recommendations, tools and example concepts are published through the KIEHU and ReHeat project channels.<\/li><\/ul>

            The results and materials will be published on the project website and on LinkedIn.<\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n
