The event is the occasion to present some of the results emerging from the LombHe@t research project. LombHe@t – Hub Energetico Lombardo (the Lombardy Hub for Energy) is financed by Regione Lombardia (the regional government of Lombardy) within the competitive call “Call Hub” and was set up to identify heating solutions with a low environmental impact.

The partners in the LombHe@t project, A2A Calore e Servizi, Ariston Group, Fondazione Politecnico di Milano and Enersem, will be taking part in the event, joined by teachers and researchers from the Department of Energy at Politecnico di Milano who have been working on the project. The panel will encourage reflection and debate on the new technologies for decarbonising heating, concentrating on highly built-up areas.

The event is organised by the project partners, in collaboration with the Department of Energy at Politecnico di Milano.
