BACKGROUND
Across the EU, excess heat potential amounts to 2,860 TWh/y, almost equal to the total energy demand for heat and hot water in residential and service sector buildings. In Denmark, the industry has managed to recover about 13% of excess heat and is as such a European frontrunner. Existing technologies allow for recovery of excess heat from sources such as wastewater facilities, data centers, supermarkets, metro stations and commercial buildings but are sparsely applied across the EU. What will it take to harvest the potential of excess heat in Belgium and the EU?
EXPECTED OUTCOME
One of the reasons why excess heat is not used further is not due to a lack of technology but rather due lack of knowledge about the potential. The event therefore aims to familiarise the participants with the existing opportunities as well as to discuss with key stakeholders how the roll out of these may best be incentivized in order to harvest the free flowing excess heat.
