Belgium - Renewable Heating and Cooling Pathways, Measures and Milestones for the Implementation of the Recast Renewable Energy Directive and Full Decarbonisation by 2050

Description

The study is aimed to perform high resolution modelling of concrete scenarios, pathways and measures to decarbonise heating and cooling through renewable energy sources and to provide policy recommendations for measures and milestones. It will analyse economic potentials of renewable heating and cooling supply deployment via individual and district (communal) solutions and the necessary enabling legal, regulatory and investment framework to realise those potentials via scenarios and portfolios of measures in the perspectives of the EU 2030 and 2050 climate and energy objectives, and beyond. It will establish quantified milestones of renewable heating and cooling deployment, provide benchmarks to assess progress, including progress under Article 23 and 24 of the recast Renewable Energy Directive (2018/2001/EU) in mainstreaming renewables in the heating and cooling sector. It will provide the analytical basis for commission implementation and policy development work with a view to ensure a seamless pathway to the full decarbonisation of the heating and cooling sector by 2050 in buildings and industry. It will analyse the pre-requisites for ensuringSeamless transition between the Clean Energy Package and the EU long-term 2050 decarbonisation objectives.
