Integrating renewable and waste heat and cold sources into district heating and cooling systems: case studies analysis, replicable key success factors and potential policy implications. [link]Paper  abstract   bibtex   
According to the latest market numbers published in the EGEC Geothermal Energy Market Report 2020, geothermal energy provided heat to around 2.3 million homes in Europe including non-EU countries. Although the majority of installations (around 90%) is related to geothermal heat pumps in individual buildings, more than 300 direct use geothermal district heating systems as well as more than 401 local low temperature heating and cooling networks (also known as 5th generation DHC networks) already exist in Europe. In total, 6000 district heating systems are operating in Europe covering around 12% of the overall heating and cooling demand. Still, fossil fuels dominate the heating and cooling supply at a share of 60%.
