Heat turn in Berlin: Districts are demanding city -wide control
The Senate Department for Mobility, Transport, Climate Protection and the Environment (SenMVKU) presented the project in Berlin yesterday and the perspectives of the overall city planning. According to current data, 90% of heat supply in Berlin is carried out by fossil fuels such as gas and coal, which makes the planned climate neutrality difficult until 2045. District City Councilor Korinna Stephan (B`90/Greens) emphasized the importance of sustainable heat planning and called for a stronger integration of the districts into the process. Berlin plans to submit its heat planning by early 2026 to determine where district heating should be available and where decentralized solutions are required. Builders are intended to encourage renewable heat sources through better information on sustainable solutions in their ...
Heat turn in Berlin: Districts are demanding city -wide control
The Senate Department for Mobility, Transport, Climate Protection and the Environment (SenMVKU) presented the project and the perspectives of the overall city planning yesterday in Berlin. According to current data, 90% of heat supply in Berlin is carried out by fossil fuels such as gas and coal, which makes the planned climate neutrality difficult until 2045. District City Councilor Korinna Stephan (B`90/Greens) emphasized the importance of sustainable heat planning and called for a stronger integration of the districts into the process.
Berlin plans to present its heat planning by early 2026 to determine where district heating should be available and where decentralized solutions are required. Builders should be encouraged to implement sustainable solutions in their construction projects through better information on renewable heat sources. The heat transition is considered an important Herculean task that requires a clear implementation schedule.
It is discussed that district heating can only guarantee a partial cover in the future, which is why alternatives are considered. A comprehensive heat transition is necessary to reach the climate goals in Berlin and reduce the dependence on fossil fuels. Information on the heat transition and climate -adapted building are available from the Reinickendorf building consulting center.
A table with relevant information on renewable energies and their potential in Berlin could be helpful to illustrate the current possibilities and challenges in the heat sector.
The discussion about the implementation of the heat transition and the integration of the districts in Berlin is therefore an important topic with a great scope for the future of the city. It remains to be seen how the Senate Administration and the districts will work together on solutions to achieve the climate goals and ensure sustainable heat supply for Berlin.
