JSC “RĪGAS SILTUMS” is the major supplier of heat in Riga, almost 70% of heating. Gas is used as the main fuel source, however, as a result of modernisation and new technology’s, the use of local renewable resource like wood chips as an alternative fuel has been continuously increasing. Long term aims to reduce CO2 and fossil fuels have led to significant changes in a number of heat sources in Riga, thus contributing to diversification of fuel.
