3. Conclusion

By way of conclusion to this article dedicated to chilled water production and cold storage in district cooling networks (DCNs), it is important to draw the reader's attention once again to the development prospects offered by the combination of district heating networks and DCNs.

Indeed, the production of cold from "fatal" energy (for example, heat produced in summer from the incineration of household waste) finds economic and environmental justification, particularly in relation to the primary energy factor and the CO ₂ emission factor.

The Celsius Smart Cities project, launched in 2013 for a period of 4 years, is a European project for disseminating and sharing experience in the development of smart heating and cooling networks. Its aim is to eventually bring together 50 cities from different...
