This study significantly advances our understanding of sustainable solutions in district heating systems and decarbonization. It explores the potential and impact of electricity cogeneration using Organic Rankine Cycle (ORC) integrated with small-scale biomass boilers within district heating systems. Among its key findings, “(…)the study highlights the trade-off between financial gains and CO2 emission reductions, underscoring the complex decision-making involved in energy system optimization”.
