Description

The project will aim to create interactive map, which would not only contribute to the achievement of the objectives of the Directive 2012/27/EU and setting national heating and cooling potentials but would reduce investment cost in to the district heating and cooling infrastructure, reduce heat losses in networks, as well increase efficiency of distribution and would significantly contribute to reducing CO2 emissions.


The aim of the project is to fulfil the obligation stemming from the EU Directive to develop an assessment study of the national heating and cooling potential, a database and an interactive map.


The project includes:

  • Collection of statistical information, estimation of heat and cooling potential, creation of database and interactive data platform.
  • Creation of an Online Portal.
  • Implementation of educational tools to build expertise for experts, practitioners and the public who will manage and use the interactive data platform.
  • Raise the competence of staff and the public (training, visits, preparation of methodological material, publicity events in municipalities and etc).

Project benefit

The results will provide better tools for public and private entities in planning future investments in energy infrastructure; increase skills and competence of staff and contribute to improved awareness among end-users about energy investment needs.

Also project will help to contribute to the effective achievement of national climate change mitigation targets, efficiently plan the heat and cooling infrastructure and to control the optimum energy balance of the fuels, and will also allow for cost and energy savings decisions.

Target groups of the project Ministry of Energy of the Republic of Lithuania, the Lithuanian Energy Agency, municipalities, business entities, small and medium enterprises, associations, society.
