NGO Ecoclub and partners conducted a number of activities related to district heating in the project Change Agents for a Green Society. Local authorities representatives are in a difficult situation when they cannot provide high-quality central heating services due to limited energy sources and chronic problems of the system, and do not imagine all potentially possible technical solutions to improve the existing situation. In Ukraine, discussions are ongoing regarding potential solutions to replace natural gas as the main energy carrier for the production of thermal energy for heating. We have already presented one of the possible options, i.e. heat pumps, at a webinar. Another option is solar heating. And that is what the event at 20th december is about.
