NEW CHP SYSTEM BASED ON HEAT PUMPS FOR BERLIN BOUGHT BY VATTENFALL

attenfall Wärme Berlin AG and Siemens Energy have signed an agreement to demonstrate and trial a new large-scale, high-temperature heat pump in Berlin.

In the Qwark project (the German acronym represents “coupling of district heating, power, and cooling”), they will test the use of this new technology for the first time at Berlin’s Potsdamer Platz to generate green district heating using waste heat and electricity from renewables, and feed it into Berlin’s district heating network.
