Abstract
Denne undersøgelse undersøger landskabet for spildvarmeudnyttelse i Danmark med fokus på de regulatoriske udfordringer og muligheder for integration i fjernvarmesystemer. Trods positiv opmuntring fra EU-direktiver og danske politikker, giver fraværet af solid lovgivningsmæssig opbakning udfordringer. Den nyligt implementerede prisloftlovgivning, der har været gældende siden 2022, har været udsat for kritik som en potentiel hindring. Beliggenhed fremstår som en kritisk faktor, hvor energiintensive industrier ofte ligger dårligt til at integrere spildvarme. Konklusionen understreger behovet for strengere reguleringsforanstaltninger, herunder strategisk industriplacering og integration i miljøbeskyttelseslovgivningen, for fuldt ud at realisere potentialet ved udnyttelse af spildvarme
This study examines the landscape of waste heat utilization in Denmark, focusing on the regulatory challenges and opportunities for integration into district heating systems. Despite positive encouragement from EU directives and Danish policies, the absence of robust legislative backing poses challenges. The newly implemented price cap legislation, effective since 2022, has faced criticism as a potential hindrance. Location emerges as a critical factor, with energy-intensive industries often poorly situated for waste heat integration. The conclusion emphasizes the need for more stringent regulatory measures, including strategic industry placement and integration into environmental protection legislation, to fully realize the potential of waste heat utilization
