About the project

The Naas District Heating Feasibility Study is a comprehensive analysis of the potential to develop a district heating network in Naas town. This project will assess the technical, financial, and socio-economic aspects of implementing a district heating system using locally available heat sources. It aims to establish if DH can supply heat in the region, reduce dependency on fossil fuels, and contribute to meeting national and EU climate targets.

The study will include a review of existing heat demands in Naas, identify suitable renewable and waste heat sources, and investigate viable business models for network implementation. The feasibility study is an essential step towards establishing a sustainable district heating system that can significantly reduce CO₂ emissions, increase energy efficiency, and improve energy security.
