We can continue the rehabilitation of centralized district heating where we have already invested European funds, but we also have the opportunity to re-invent in the district heating, says Cristina Cremenescu, Vice-President COGEN, in an interview for energynomics.ro, the organizer of the Energy Strategy Summit to be held in Bușteni (Prahova), on June 4, 2015. “In February 2015, the European Commission made public its concern regarding the launch of the Policies for the heat and cold markets in the context where ignoring this sector of the energy industry it would be impossible to achieve any of the goals of energy security and efficiency. Bz its Directive 2012/27 EU defined efficient heating and cooling systems as those using at least: 50% of energy from renewable sources, 50% waste heat, 75% heat produced in cogeneration or 50% of a combination of the kind mentioned”, Cristina Cremenscu said.
We are at a turning point in heating systems in Romania. We have the responsibility to ensure the district heating and centralized district heating is the most effective solution
