Support schemes
In Denmark there are several taxes on the production, supply and use of energy sources for heating purposes. Renewable energy sources are exempt from these tax obligations. Moreover, the use of biogas for heating purposes is supported through a direct premium tariff.

Due to the nature of heat supply, the connection of a heat generation plant to a district heating network is closely linked to the construction of the plant. Grid connection always involves grid development, since the construction of a plant must occur simultaneously with the development of the district heating grid.
