For dense, urban environment I think district heating should we the way to go. Works very well in Denmark!

This is why we created Lun. Every gas boiler's consumption emits about 2tCO2 per year - and there are about 90 million buildings in Europe that could be heated using heat pumps instead, with huge benefits for energy efficiency and carbon emissions.

As you said, it's a hard problem.

Luckily, politicians and bureaucrats are passing more and more legislation that will force the fossil fuels out of heating over the next decade. We see it as our job to make sure it's going to happen in real life by being the glue between all parties in the value chain (consumers, OEMs, installers, utilities, governments, financial institutions).

And we're looking for great people ;) careers.lun.energy

Thanks so much for sharing! The map couldn't be what it is today without the help of the great open source community:https://github.com/tmrowco/electricitymap-contrib

We're also super proud that the data is being used by Google to ensure that they use their data centers more when the electricity is greener and to help them in goal to make their electricity usage 24/7 carbon free in 2030 (https://www.gstatic.com/gumdrop/sustainability/247-carbon-fr...)
