The SET_HEAT_LAKE project aims to demonstrate a viable pathway toward decarbonisation of Bucharest’s centralised district heating system by replacing fossil‑fuel-based heat generation with renewable heat derived from Lake Morii through a large-scale lake-water-source heat pump system.
The study explores the integration of a wastewater-source heat recovery system into the district heating network (DHN) of Opole, Poland. It demonstrates how municipal wastewater infrastructure can be coupled with district heating to create a circular, low-emission, and energy-efficient urban energy system.
The SET_HEAT_PTES pre-feasibility study initially examines the technical, environmental, legal, and economic viability of integrating a large-scale Pit Thermal Energy Storage (PTES) system into the district heating (DH) network of Opole.
The SET_HEAT_RIVER Project aims to decarbonise Zagreb’s district heating system by introducing a 21 MW water-to-water heat pump system that uses the Sava River as a renewable heat source.
The SET_HEAT project has closed its second year of implementation and is now fully rolled out.

Replicability and standardisation may considerably streamline the planning processes, reduce costs, improve quality, facilitate communication, and eventually accel-erate investment processes and the transition overall.
The public event of the workshop brought together specialists from Romania, Denmark, Lithuania, Croatia and Poland, together with local authorities and thermal energy experts. A collective effort between district heating companies, local administration and citizens is essential to achieve the emission reduction and energy efficiency objectives, which was attended by representatives of the Ministry of Public Works, Development and Administration, the Ministry of Investments and European Projects, the Bucharest City Hall, Electrocentrale București S.A., the Bucharest-Ilfov Intercommunity Thermal Energy Development Association, as well as European experts in the field of thermal energy.
This document presents guidelines for the strategic planning of the energy transition and decarbonisation of existing DH systems and the development of investment projects.

After one year of the implementation of the SET_HEAT project, the conclusions are that energy transition and decarbonisation in the district heating sector are very challenging tasks in all countries. On the other hand, DH companies are triggering unprecedented activities that make forecasts for the sector optimistic.
Special session titled “Energy Transition and Decarbonisation in the District Heating Sector” was part of the 19th SDEWES 2024 Conference on Sustainable Development of Energy, Water and Environment Sys-tems scheduled for September 8 - 12, 2024 in Rome.
This report summarises the results of the SET_HEAT project’s activities on the identification of available low-grade heat sources in four cities targeted by the project.
This report summarises the activities of the SET_HEAT project consortium dedicated to stakeholder engagement. Within the first 9 months of the project, those activities were mainly focused on changing the mindset of the district heating companies directly involved in the project and stakeholder identification.
This SET_HEAT project report is a sourcing guide for district heating companies working on the energy transition and decarbonisation roadmaps and planning investment projects.
This SET_HEAT project's report addresses opportunities for district heating development with a point of departure in the literature and the prospects seen by district heating companies in the four SET_HEAT countries – Poland, Lithuania, Romania and Croatia.
