Am<strong>on</strong>g possiblesystem drivers <strong>on</strong> the supply side in Sweden are [1]:Increased utilizati<strong>on</strong> of industrial surplus heatRemaining large potential of waste incinerati<strong>on</strong>Increase of CHP power producti<strong>on</strong>Fig. 2 Focus <strong>on</strong> the use of biomass e.g. for making optimalamounts of high qualitative energy carriers with heat as aresidue (it could also e.g. be biomaterials producti<strong>on</strong>).At the same time we can also expect:Increased competiti<strong>on</strong> for bio fuel resourcesHigher prices <strong>on</strong> high quality energy carriers(electricity <strong>and</strong> fuels) might drive towards smallerfracti<strong>on</strong> as heat.Increased energy efficiency in industrial processes.With strategic planning district heating might utilizeresidual heat from processes producing combinati<strong>on</strong>sof high quality energy carriers (or bio based materialproducti<strong>on</strong>). The focus can probably not be <strong>on</strong> heatproducti<strong>on</strong>. Even combined heat <strong>and</strong> power producti<strong>on</strong>from bio fuels might not be efficient enough forcompetitive district heating (Fig 2).Fig. 1 Possible change for district heating dem<strong>and</strong> infuture – decreasing dem<strong>and</strong> but more even over the year.a) b)c) d)Fig. 3 Illustrati<strong>on</strong> of the need for a systemic perspective in planning the details of the energy system; a): A CHP plant <strong>and</strong> apotential energy customer (building); b): A CHP plant delivering district heat <strong>and</strong> electricity to a customer; c): A power plantdelivering <strong>on</strong>ly electricity to a customer with passive house st<strong>and</strong>ard using electricity for hot water <strong>and</strong> peak heat dem<strong>and</strong>s– excess heat is cooled away. The total primary energy dem<strong>and</strong> increases; d): A CHP plant delivering both heat <strong>and</strong>electricity to a customer with passive house st<strong>and</strong>ard (less total primary energy dem<strong>and</strong> than in the b case).203
