This exploratory project will provide insight into whether supply of industrial residual heat and demand for heat in the built environment in the Canal Zone can be linked together with the help of techno-economic modeling of disconnection, pipeline routes, interconnection and the calculation of potential business cases.
Several scenarios were run through where options are considered individually, as well as a so-called “No Gas” scenario where it is only forced that no more gas may be used, but the model is otherwise free to make the best economic choice, looking at the Net Present Value (discounted cost over 30 years) of the entire system. These scenarios are compared with the reference case, which actually involves continuing the current situation.
