Summary

The role of district heating in future smart energy infrastructure has been fairly well discussed but its counterpart, district cooling has as well a large role to play. District cooling is a centralized solution for providing cost efficient and environment friendly cooling to buildings. When considering district cooling one normally thinks that it is a solution for the warm climates. It might therefore come as a surprise that the Europe´s largest district cooling market is found in a Scandinavian country, Sweden. The second biggest district cooling market is in France. Even with the difference in the climate both countries have identified the significant benefits district cooling can bring, both from an economic and environmental perspective. The purpose of this paper is to; a) underline the benefits district cooling can bring to cities and their inhabitants, b) identify few of the potential cooling sources and c) discuss common challenges and best practices to ensure stable and economic operation of the system.
