This paper is an investigation of heat source substitution as a general route to sector coupling. The study explores 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. This is achieved by introducing taxes on biomass use, ban biomass boilers and entirely prohibit use of biomass.
