Vranay, D.Lukasik, L.Tkacik, D.OcipovaDepartment of Indoor Engineering and Building ServicesCentrum for economy analysis for renewable energies and distribution systemsTechnical University of Kosice, Slovakiae-mail: frantisek.vranay@tuke.sk, honors@stonline.skKey words: greenhouse emissions, geothermal/gas system, lower cost, transformation, energy, carbonAbstractBased on legislative support in Slovak republic a social cost of carbon for various energyproduction technologies is calculated. A simple carbon learning curve is outlined. ComparingSlovakia nature conditions and already build energy infrastructure a possible scenario with themost economic approach to mitigation towards low carbon energy system is discussed. As anexample a transformation of the central heat system in town Kosice from coal/gas fuels intogeothermal/gas system is discussed. Analysis of the transformation cooperative concurrencymodel shows that the present central heat system could be transformed in order to produceonly 30% from the present level of greenhouse emissions. A four level guarantee for investorsembedded into the heat code is constructed. Moreover an analysis suggests thattransformation towards low carbon central heat system will produce heat with lower cost forconsumers.37º <strong>IAHS</strong> <strong>World</strong> <strong>Congress</strong> On Housing Science 177
