  text: <jats:p>This paper aims to present an approach for the planning of carbon
    low heat supply in a future district heating system based on open data for German
    cities with existing district heating networks. One focus is on the integration
    of industrial waste heat and the uncertainty of future waste heat sources as well
    as restrictions on the use of biomass. For that purpose, knowledge about the energy
    demand is necessary. In a first step it is shown how the demand around a heating
    network is estimated with spatial data and a load profile is generated. Local
    available heat sources are examined according to their suitability and their kind
    of integration in the heating network. As heat production from different units
    are optimised, the development of a simulation model will be presented. The simulation
    is based on the optimisation of the operational costs of the used technologies
    for heating supply. Different scenarios covering various technologies and economic
    assumptions are applied. The results show the levelized costs of heating as well
    as the ecological performance. A sensitivity analysis shows the importance of
    uncertainties for the economic assumptions. The results showing levelized costs
    of heating as well as the ecological performance underlining the advantage of
    excess heat integration.</jats:p>
