In context: Renewable heating and cooling. Transformative approaches and cross-cutting policies. Renewables based electrification of heating and cooling. Renewable gases as a heat source. Sustainable use of biomass. Direct use of solar thermal heat. In focus: district heating and cooling. The way forward.

This report highlights a portfolio of policies to increase the uptake of renewables in heating and cooling. It describes five transformation pathways – encompassing renewables-based electrification, renewable gases, sustainable biomass, and the direct use of solar thermal and geothermal heat – together with the enabling infrastructure required. In the course of analysing the barriers that stand in the way of each pathway, the report identifies and assesses the policy instruments that can be used to overcome those barriers and reap the enormous potential benefits of the transition.
