DHC+, Strategic Research Agenda The essential challenges are the major market, legal, internal, and political conditions that the European DHC industry must meet and overcome in order to strengthen its competitiveness on the European energy market. If the European DHC industry will master these challenges, the importance of DHC and the added value from the DHC benefits will grow in Europe.
The 10 DHC challenges 1.Ensuringcustomer loyalty 2. Convincing new customers 3. Convincing policymakers 4. Fossil transition 5.Future legal frameworks 6.Future demands 7.Handicraft industry 8.Technology transition 9.Knowledge transfer 10.Contribution to the EU energy policies
