Serbia, Solar Thermal and Heat Pump Generated Renewable Energy Integration in Novi Sad District Heating System

Serbia, Solar Thermal and Heat Pump Generated Renewable Energy Integration in Novi Sad District Heating System

Project Description

The strategic goal of the City of Novi Sad and Novi Sad District Heating Company is to provide an efficient, reliable and climate-friendly heat supply for households, public institutions and businesses by integrating renewable energy sources in the existing district heating infrastructure.

Currently, the heat energy production system of the City's district heating system is based exclusively on the use of natural gas as the primary energy source. The City's authorities have recognised solar-thermal technology as a sustainable solution for the district heating system. The goal is to make a sustainable transformation into a fourth-generation district heating system (4DH) by integrating the solar-thermal base heat source.

The planned investments will contribute to improving the quality of life, strengthening energy stability and independence, reducing natural gas consumption as a non-renewable energy source, as well as reducing CO2 emissions, through the generation of clean, green energy in the City of Novi Sad.

Technical assistance, provided through WBIF, will support the preparation of the Feasibility Study for the solar-thermal and heat pump-generated renewable energy integration in the Novi Sad District Heating System.
