Energy Transition

The transition to being free of natural gas can only be achieved if there is a heat transition. Thermal energy from the water cycle (aquathermal energy) can contribute substantially to this. Within this theme, Waternet is working on pilots for the application of aquathermal energy and for the realisation of open low-temperature heat networks (LT networks) in which, in addition to aquathermal energy, heat generated from data centres can also play a role.

Objectives

  • Thermal energy: balancing demand for heating and cooling via aquathermal energy combined with primary tasks
  • Other energy: Waternet – energy positive/free of natural gas

 

Knowledge Agenda

To further improve water quality and technology, Waternet will do more research on:

  • Potential of aquathermal energy
  • Thermal energy from waste water surface water and drinking water
  • Low-temperature heat networks
