Directive 2012/27/EU of the European Parliament and of the CouncilShow full title

Directive 2012/27/EU of the European Parliament and of the Council of 25 October 2012 on energy efficiency, amending Directives 2009/125/EC and 2010/30/EU and repealing Directives 2004/8/EC and 2006/32/EC (Text with EEA relevance)

[F17. an analysis of the economic potential (1) of different technologies for heating and cooling shall be carried out for the entire national territory by using the cost-benefit analysis referred to in Article 14(3) and shall identify alternative scenarios for more efficient and renewable heating and cooling technologies, distinguishing between energy derived from fossil and renewable sources where applicable. U.K.

The following technologies should be considered:

(a)

industrial waste heat and cold;

(b)

waste incineration;

(c)

high efficiency cogeneration;

(d)

renewable energy sources (such as geothermal, solar thermal and biomass) other than those used for high efficiency cogeneration;

(e)

heat pumps;

(f)

reducing heat and cold losses from existing district networks;]

(1)

[F1The analysis of the economic potential should present the volume of energy (in GWh) that can be generated per year by each technology analysed. The limitations and interrelations within the energy system should also be taken into account. The analysis may make use of models based on assumptions representing the operation of common types of technologies or systems.]
