# District Heating Networks

> The Enomondo district heating network in Faenza uses thermal energy from a biomass cogeneration plant to serve Caviro facilities and other civil and industrial users, applying a circular-economy model based on biomass and recovered organic waste.

- **Content type:** Page / project case study
- **Original title:** District Heating Networks
- **English title:** District Heating Networks

- **Summary:** The page describes the Enomondo district heating network in Faenza, its biomass-based cogeneration source, the waste streams it processes, the users and functions served, and the environmental and operational benefits stated for the system.

## Enomondo district heating network in Faenza

The network originates in the industrial area of Faenza and is powered by the biomass cogeneration plant operated by Enomondo, a joint venture between Caviro and Hera.

The plant treats about 190,000 tons of waste each year from farms, agri-food supply chains and urban collection. The page describes sorting, composting and controlled combustion of biomass such as pomace, wood chips, clippings, prunings and RDF as the processes used to produce thermal and electrical energy.

## Project information

Thermal energy from the Enomondo plants feeds the Caviro Extra plants. Surplus thermal energy is distributed to civil and industrial users through the district heating network for heating, cooling and domestic hot water production.

The network is presented as an alternative to stand-alone boilers, using a single renewable-energy source and recovering biomass and organic waste within a circular-economy model. The page states that the system helps avoid more than 57,000 tons of CO₂ emissions each year.

- **Energy source:** cogeneration from solid biomass, including pomace, wood chips, compost, mowing residues and RDF.
- **Quantities processed:** about 190,000 tons per year of recovered waste.
- **Energy produced:** thermal and electrical energy, with surplus fed into the grid.
- **CO₂ avoided:** about 57,000 tons per year.
- **Users served:** Caviro factories plus residential and industrial users.
- **Thermal distribution:** 100,000 MWht per year.
- **Functions covered:** heating, cooling and domestic hot water production.
- **Network technology:** heat exchangers and a low-temperature secondary circuit.
- **Benefits stated on the page:** increased efficiency, reduced emissions, reliability and elimination of individual boilers.
