Heat networks A heat network distributes heat to several users, just as an electricity grid distributes power. The heat energy produced and recycled by Combined Heat & Power plants during electricity generation can be sold and distributed to loca...
Combined Heat & Power Forms of power generation using combustion can generally be made more efficient if the surplus heat is captured and used too. This is called Combined Heat and Power (CHP). In conventional power generation the large amount of...
Solar heating Active solar heating systems convert solar radiation into heat which can be used directly. In the Albania uses are primarily domestic water heating and other low temperature heating applications. In hotter climates a wider range of appl...
Heat pumps These are devices that can extract and amplify heat obtained from a source of thermal energy. There are several types of heat pump. All use the same basic principle of extracting heat from a source and concentrating it to obtain a higher t...
Woodfuel for heat What is Woodfuel? Woodfuel for heat is woody fuel that is burned to generate energy for space heating or hot water. Woodfuel includes logs, woodchip or pellets to be used in applications ranging from an open log fire or a woodburnin...
Geothermal heat Heat from the hot core of the earth can be extracted and used in various ways (including ground source heat pumps described separately) Hot dry rocks One form of geothermal energy is produced using hot rocks, a few kilometers beneath...
