Internalisation of external costs in studies of local district-heating based energy systems

Paper in proceeding, 2008

This study aims to investigate how external costs can be internalised in an energy systems study of local district-heating aiming to assess the socio-economic cost-effectiveness of the district heating system’s operation. It shows that current Swedish energy policy instruments lead to a socio-economic suboptimal operation on the marginal production of heat in the studied district heating system of Göteborg.
