In the eighth issue of the APUEA Magazine, we present energy efficiency trends in Asia and how planning is the key to help create more sustainable cities. We provide insights into a best practice district heating system in Inner Mongolia, China, and district energy contributions in climate change and circular economy. We explore the innovative multi-energy system in Xian, China, how smart operation and maintenance help maximize efficiency for Asia-Pacific industries and continue our report on energy-efficient solutions for data centers.

The magazine includes articles from Johnson Controls, ENGIE, ABB, Siveco, NXITY, Fengxi New Energy, Muhammad Ali, and APUEA.

On June 16th, Asia Pacific Urban Energy Association (APUEA) and C40 Cities hosted the workshop “Future development of sustainable urban energy in Asia Pacific – Maximizing the benefits of integrated urban energy systems” in conjunction with the Virtual Asia Clean Energy Forum 2020. We want to thank speakers, panelists, and the active audience for contributing to a successful event!

APUEA is pleased to share a new decarbonisation roadmap for the heating and cooling sector in Europe. The report is titled ”Towards a decarbonised heating and cooling sector in Europe - Unlocking the potential of energy efficiency and district energy” and is produced by The Sustainable Energy Planning Research Group of Aalborg University, with the support of Danfoss and Engie.
