The goal is also to illustrate how Danish technology and solutions is a valuable part of the blueprints for reformed DH.

The output of the project is a detailed heat plan for a Chinese city complemented by a technology catalogue and a roadmap, and capacity building to accelerate a green and energy efficient transition of DH in China.
