Municipal solutions

Municipal local heating networks are a key to sustainable heat supply in cities, municipalities and neighbourhoods. They enable the centralised use of renewable energies – especially biomass – and offer a climate-friendly, cost-efficient alternative to fossil heating systems. For decades, Nolting has been supplying robust and efficient biomass firing systems that are ideal for municipal use.

 

Ecological Benefits:

  • CO₂-neutral heat supply – biomass only releases as much CO₂ as the plants have absorbed during growth

  • Climate protection at municipal level – contribution to achieving municipal climate targets and CO₂ savings

  • Regional use of resources  – utilisation of wood waste from the surrounding area strengthens the circular economy

  • Reduction of emissions – use of low-emission technology with modern filter systems

  • Independence from fossil fuels – local energy supply without oil or gas

 

Economic Benefits:

  • Predictable, stable heat prices – Less dependence on volatile energy markets
  • Attractive funding opportunities – State subsidies and funding programmes for municipal heating networks
  • Reduced operating costs – centralised systems are low-maintenance and efficient
  • Local value creation – Utilising regional biomass strengthens the local economy and creates jobs
  • Long-term investment security – Sustainable infrastructure with a long service life

 

Technical & Comfort Benefits:

  • Central energy supply for entire neighbourhoods – schools, town halls, housing estates and businesses are heated together
  • High security of supply – reliable technology for continuous operation with low susceptibility to faults
  • Simple scalability – modular systems enable demand-orientated expansions
  • Low cost for end users – No need for a separate boiler or fuel store
  • Compatible with existing systems – Simple connection to existing building heating systems

Municipal local heating networks with biomass firing systems are an effective lever for climate-friendly heat supply, economic independence and regional value creation. With solutions from Nolting, local authorities can rely on a sustainable, reliable and environmentally friendly energy infrastructure – for the benefit of people, the environment and the household.
