Heating in Germany is to become more climate-friendly. One means of implementing this is the expansion of district heating.

Six million of the 43 million apartments in Germany are currently heated with it. Murnau has been relying on it for years. How good is the supply in the market and what could it look like in the future? An inventory of every district heating network is not possible to switch to another supplier in the long term, says Karl Steingruber, commercial director of the municipal utilities.
