Flexible sector coupling of heat and electricity is a well-documented way to facilitate efficient and renewables-based energy systems. The study investigates the impacts of heat source substitution on sector coupling, with constraints on biomass use in the Danish heat sector showing decreases in system costs with some trade-offs such as increased power-to-heat use and end-user heat costs.
Flexible sector coupling of heat and electricity is a well-documented way of facilitating efficient and renewables-based energy systems. Heating is characterised by substitutable heat sources, where some facilitate flexibility and sector coupling, while others do not. Earlier studies indicate sector coupling hindrances from competing biomass-based heat sources. The scientific contribution of this study is an investigation of heat source substitution as a general route to sector coupling. We explore the impacts of constraining biomass use, applying the Danish heat sector as a case, to see impacts on indicators such as power-to-heat deployment. We do so by introducing taxes on biomass use, ban biomass boilers and entirely prohibit use of biomass. These constraints are modelled in the Balmorel model. The results show that system costs decrease along with biomass use. Power-to-heat use, CO2-emissions, tax-and elec-tricity tariff revenue and end-user heat cost increase, in some cases substantially. It appears that a CO2 price signal is sufficient to obtain CO2-reductions, whereas other motivations, including increased electrification of the heating sector, may justify constraints on biomass use.
