The calculations have been based only on one representative value of per<strong>for</strong>mance of <strong>the</strong> technologies.The results should not be seen only a representative examples, not as exact results.The electricity dem<strong>and</strong> of 76 PJ is not important <strong>for</strong> <strong>the</strong> results. However, <strong>the</strong> irreversibilities ofelectrical appliances is significant, <strong>and</strong> thus <strong>the</strong> actual dem<strong>and</strong> is lower than this value.5 ConclusionBased on studies of <strong>the</strong> modern Danish energy system we have determined <strong>the</strong> effectiveness of heatsupply based on three different criteria: CO 2 emissions, Renewability <strong>and</strong> Primary Fuel utilization.In all cases we find that combined heat <strong>and</strong> power production <strong>and</strong> domestic heat pumps are <strong>the</strong> besttechnologies, out of those that use fossil fuel. We also find that technologies based on renewablesources only are better concerning <strong>the</strong> two <strong>for</strong>mer criteria.The primary fuel utilization of heat supply is found to be very low, not above 10% in most cases,except <strong>for</strong> Combined Heat <strong>and</strong> Power. This may seem very low when boilers of e.g., 95% energyefficiency are available on <strong>the</strong> market. This suggests that exergy analysis should be used to largerextent in underst<strong>and</strong>ing optimization of energy systems in order to optimize use of primary.Heat pumps have a significant share of fossil fuel in <strong>the</strong> current system. Thus it is questionablewhe<strong>the</strong>r it is reasonable to see this technology as renewable energy.District heating may be improved significantly by lower temperature in <strong>the</strong> network. This will lowerexergy destruction due to both <strong>the</strong> heat loss <strong>and</strong> <strong>the</strong> temperature differences between network <strong>and</strong>consumption.6 References[1] Danish <strong>Energy</strong> Agency. <strong>Energy</strong> statistics 2008.
