Discover the future of cooperative aquathermal energy in the North Sea Region!

Over ons

Aquathermal energy presents a huge opportunity for sustainable heating and cooling. The project WaterWarmth develops inspiring pilots and examples that show the potential of aquathermal energy. Our goal is to help Energy Communities integrate aquathermal energy in their operations. Let's shape a more sustainable future together! This Interreg North Sea project is co-funded by the European Union. Project start date: 15th of June 2023 Project end date: 15th of September 2026 Total budget €7.997.253 Total partners: 21 partners from The Netherlands, Belgium, Germany, France, Denmark and Sweden Project description: The WaterWarmth consortium is ambitious and equipped to seize the opportunities aquathermal energy offers. We are highly motivated to create a lasting impact in the North Sea Region (NSR). Aquathermal energy (AE) uses thermal energy from water to provide sustainable H/C for buildings. Surface waters act as a huge solar collector and store heat in quantities that exceed by far the energy requirements for H/C. At present, the vast majority of people and energycommunities (ECs) are unaware of this omnipresent and readily available energy source. WaterWarmth will change this. Costs of change from gas infrastructure are high and, historically, another barrier is low-costs of fossilfuels. Additional challenges remain around: citizen participation, integration of AE in the energy system and the current built environment,environmental impact, legal and governance, business cases, and securing project (development) funds and bearing risks by ECs. Waterwarmth addresses all these key aspects in one coherent project. It works on facilitating ECs that are delivering the energy transition,and co-develop inspiring and replicable examples of cooperative AE solutions, integrated into the local context, with citizens from across theNSR. Deliverables will empower ECs to accelerate the dearly needed energy transition.
