This year, the ISH accompanying programme was moved online and offered high quality content in the form of expert lectures, special shows, competitions and digital tours. The BDH organised a daily live stream together with Zukunft Gas and the Institute for Heat and Mobility (IWO).

Heating industry and energy sector in the heating market: Green Deal ready?!

The EU's Green Deal sets ambitious climate targets. By 2030, CO₂ emissions are to be reduced by at least 55 percent compared to 1990. In 2050, Europe is to become the first climate-neutral continent. As the largest energy consumption sector in Germany and Europe, the heating market plays a central role in achieving these climate goals. Representatives of the energy sector and the heating industry will discuss the contributions of energy sources and heating technology to CO₂ reduction and the appropriate political framework conditions with politicians at ISH digital 2021.

The future of gas: hydrogen and biomethane in the heating market

In terms of volume, gas is the most important energy source in the heating market. As a result, it also plays a key role in CO₂ reduction and the energy revolution. At ISH digital 2021, Zukunft Gas discussed how efficiency improvements and green gases can help achieve climate targets.

Hydrogen strategy and the contribution of the gas system to a climate-neutral Europe

Hydrogen as a CO₂-neutral energy carrier plays a central role in the heating revolution. What place does the heating market have in the hydrogen strategy? How can the existing distribution network for gas be used for hydrogen? What demands does the heating industry have of politicians with regard to hydrogen? These were the topics discussed by Zukunft Gas at ISH digital 2021.

Green fuels as a perspective in the heating market

Liquid fuels will continue to play an important role for heat supply in the future. Through improved efficiency and the increased use of green fuels, these energy sources will contribute to achieving the climate targets in the heating market. At ISH digital 2021, experts from the industry discussed the current state of the art, the latest developments and the prospects for the future.

Digitalisation and energy management

The trend towards digitalisation is also making its way into the heating market. This is not only about comfort for the users. Digital management of energy generation, storage and consumption is also an indispensable prerequisite for the energy transition in the heating market. At ISH digital 2021, experts from the industry discussed the state of the art and the future prospects of digital heating.
