Bremen transforms: District heating should heat downtown climate -friendly!

Dechanatstraße, 28195 Bremen, Deutschland - in Bremen something happens in the area of ​​climate -friendly heat supply. Stadtwerke Bremen (SWB) presented an ambitious plan on Wednesday to gradually connect the downtown Bremen to the district heating network. This project is part of the strategy to achieve climate neutrality by 2035. Weser-Kurier reports that the first district heating lines already in Der Dechanatstrasse were laid, especially near the University of Arts. The completion of this work is expected for the end of the month.

But what exactly is district heating and why is it so important? Basically, it is an efficient method for heat supply, which makes a lot of sense, especially in densely built-up areas such as the downtown Bremen, SWB board member Karsten Schneiker. The district heating connection not only reduces the CO2 load, but also ensures access to stable heat supply. On the SWB website, it is stated that the connection to the district heating network is made directly via a house connection line. There the heat is given to the respective installation via a transfer station.

future development of the city center

The work in the city center will continue in several construction phases until 2027. The further development is to be made from the direction of the east, where many households have already been successfully supplied with district heating. The existing district heating network is currently extended to the Bremen-Mitte Clinic in the eastern suburb. However, it is important to mention that the exact route of the new lines is still being developed, which entails additional challenges.

Although access to district heating in Bremen progresses, it is not yet given everywhere. However, the SWB is determined to ensure that more and more Bremeners can benefit from this environmentally friendly heat supply option. The commitment of the SWB makes it clear: Here is working with a good hand on the future.

at a time when climate change plays an increasingly important role how local initiatives can contribute to reducing CO2 emissions. It remains exciting to observe how the district heating network will develop in the coming years. One thing is certain: the downtown Bremen will become even more climate -friendly in the future.
