Heat Transition Event

Join the Municipality of Delft and the Urban Energy Institute (UEI) of TU Delft during Climate Week in the transition from natural gas to sustainable heat! Discover innovations in geothermal energy and district heating, and why your input is important. This event connects policymakers, researchers, citizens, and other stakeholders. Share your ideas, ask questions, and shape the energy future of Delft!

As part of the Climate Week Delft, the Municipality of Delft and the Urban Energy Institute (UEI) of TU Delft are jointly organizing an event focused on the transition from gas to sustainable heating. This transition is not just about technology — it is also a social challenge that requires active participation from various stakeholders, including housing corporations, homeowners’ associations (HOAs) and landlords. The event focuses on participation themes, connecting the city’s heat transition goals with innovative research and stimulating broader community participation.

During the event, participants will have the opportunity to hear from experts, engage in interactive discussions, and contribute their ideas on how the transition to sustainable heating solutions can be effectively realized. We encourage all interested parties to join and shape the future of Delft’s energy landscape together.
