Project objectives
Assessment of the feasibility of a district heating and cooling system development in Korça, based on renewable energy and/or cogeneration as a heat source.
Project description
The project assessed various heat generation options, including a heat pump utilising waste heat from wastewater treatment, biogas or waste heat from the landfill, solar thermal energy with or without seasonal storage, and CHP based on natural gas. Additionally, district cooling, waste heat from industrial facilities, and the implementation of a new district heating network with building substations were evaluated.
