Inter-regional exchange district heating development Location: Växjö, Sweden Date: 4 5 October 2011 The Energy Agency for Southeast Sweden invites district heating developers from Ireland, Italy and Estonia to participate in an interregional exchange within the RBBD project, a sub-project within BIO- EN-AREA. In Sweden, bioenergy is the largest energy source contributing to almost 32 % of the energy use. District heating is widely spread and more than 50 % of the energy used for heating of non-industrial buildings is supplied by district heating, mainly originating from the combustion of biofuels. During the two-day exchange you will learn more about district heating and how it works in Sweden. You will visit three district heating plants of different size, one of which is a combined heat and power plant. Welcome!
