The district heating sector can and will play a role in the natural gas phase-out and the green transition. We need to accelerate our ambitions for carbon capture and create the best framework for phasing out natural gas.
Therefore, ARGO strongly agrees with Dansk Fjernvarme that we must:
- Revisit the 2020 climate agreements and tighten targets to speed up the natural gas phase-out and green investments.
- Prioritize biogas for peak load and keep incentives for electricity production at CHP plants.
- Adjust the framework conditions so that both individual heating and district heating production can become fossil-free
- Abolish the current waste and district heating tax system and replace it with CO2 taxation
- Raise the ambition for carbon capture and make it attractive to invest in.
- Creating clarity for the future of district heating production: New regulation must be in place quickly.
- Harness the potential of waste energy and let's find a model that secures the supply of electricity and heat for the benefit of the economy, consumer prices and the climate.
