We celebrate our 40 years anniversary, but let us look into the future as well. We have asked a group of VIPs from our industry to finish this sentence In 2058, the most dramatic change P5 THE EIGHTIES AND FORWARD In 1985, the activity in DBDH has increased to such an extent that a separate secretariat in Odense is established for better coordination of activities. The location in Odense also ensures that the many foreign visitors can see first-hand how Danish district heating act P6 With these very low demands on the supply temperature, district heating will partly be able to directly exploit renewable energy in the form of solar power from large solar panels (several million m2), and the huge amounts of waste heat that we already have in our communities can be utilised. An P7 THE HISTORY OF DANISH DISTRICT HEATING By Anders Dyrelund, District Heating and Energy Planning Specialist, and Jens Ole Hansen, Global Market Director, Ramboll Local democratic ownership has been the driver for an innovative and efficient Danish district heating (DH) sector in more than 100 ye P8 The stable national energy policy, the transparent planning and the municipal responsibility for both DH and gas seemed important for successful implementation. It ensured strong competition between consultants, suppliers and contractors, and it created bankable projects. Moreover, municipal gua P9 heating to cover around 20% of production. Moreover, Marstal DH company and four other companies have developed and tested the heat storage pit and increased the share of solar heat up to 60%. The heat storage pit combines the heat storage tank and landfill technology with a floating insulated c News from DBDH 1988 News from DBDH 1988 News from DBDH 1988 News from DBDH 1988 www.dbdh.dk News from DBDH 1999 News from DBDH 2001 News from DBDH 1999 Hot cool 2009 www.dbdh.dk P14 DISTRICT HEATING FINANCING AND OWNERSHIP By Laxmi J Rao, Director, International District Energy Association SETTING DISTRICT ENERGY PROJECTS IN MOTION, MAINTAIN MOMENTUM & DELIVERING SERVICE GETTING TECHNOLOGY, FINANCE, BUSINESS MODELS AND GOVERNANCE RIGHT District energy (DE) systems have p P15 CRITICAL FACTORS FOR SUCCESS To maintain momentum, projects need to enable all participants to work towards project objectives.

It is quite clear that pipe corrosion (as a result of incorrect water treatment) can cause water leakages by which the district heating company loses treated water - and energy - as t P22 As a conclusion, the recommendations from the Danish District Heating Association can be implemented as the modern, correct way to secure optimum water chemistry, and optimize life cycles as well as reduce maintenance costs of the district heating system. Improvements in make-up water quality P23 In 2058, the most dramatic change in our energy system will be that the idea of burning things to meet our energy needs will seem comically primitive. In 2058, the most dramatic change in our energy system will be the collaboration with other sectors, e.g. companies from the tech and digital s P24 WHAT HAPPENED TO BIOMASS IN DISTRICT HEATING? By Christina Pedersen, Marketing Coordinator, Linka Energy Biomass is one of the worlds most efficient and sustainable energy sources. Biomass provides more cost-efficient and sustainable heating than any other renewable energy source. However, the P25 Many heating plants are provided by local biomass suppliers, which can support a stronger local economy and sustain or even create new jobs.
