Repository for the methodology for mapping and clustering district heating infrastructure costs on an entire territory

This repository is attached to the following publication:
How much district heating in a future sector-coupled energy system? A comprehensive methodology for mapping and clustering the infrastructure costs on an entire territory - Hofmann et al.

The following files are provided:
- A quick user guide that presents the algorithms and the data provided in this repository, algo-and-data_userguide.pdf
- DHN costs from the mapping of the entire French territory at the 400 m x 400 m resolution (cleaned from empty pixels), DHN_potential_FRANCE_raster_r400.csv and DHN_potential_FRANCE_raster_r400_GIS.zip
- Algorithms developped to apply the methodology

NB : All algorithms are written in Python 3.12.1 with Jupyter Notebooks 7.2.2.
