Heat transition
The heating transition ensures that buildings will be heated in a more climate-friendly way in the future. Fossil fuels, such as gas and oil, are gradually being replaced by renewable energy sources. This protects the climate, strengthens security of supply, and makes the heating system fit for the future.
Why is the heating transition important?
In Wiesbaden, more than 80 percent of buildings are still heated with oil and natural gas. As a result, one-third of the city’s greenhouse gas emissions come from heat supply. Through its Municipal Heat Plan, Wiesbaden is demonstrating how the city’s heat supply can be made, step by step, more climate-friendly, less dependent on fossil fuels, and more focused on local energy sources. By 2045, greenhouse gas emissions from the heat supply are expected to decrease by about 93 percent compared to today’s levels.
