4. Energy systems and urban circularity: evaluating the performance of indicators for district heating and cooling systems according to the circular economy principles
University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för geovetenskaperAbstract : The circular economy model has been proposed as a possible strategy for sustainable development in urban areas, implying that its core principles need to be cascaded down to various sectors, including the energy sector. District heating and cooling systems have great potential to enhance circularity on an urban level due to the establishment of synergies between different sectors, the incorporation of renewable energy sources and high efficiency.
