Abstract: Waste-heat recovery (WHR) holds significant potential for decarbonising district heating (DH) systems. Yet, its valorisation remains a challenge for a broader adoption. Contracts often establish schemes dictating pricing schedules and calculation methodology. However, DH utilities might leverage their informational advantage about internal operations to determine prices that maximise their own benefits. Such strategic pricing, along with the choice of particular schemes, substantially influences the extent and distribution of WHR benefits.
