ReUseHeat Policy Workshop

How to ensure waste heat recovery investments?
The heat being wasted across Europe could cover 100% of our buildings' needs. District heating and cooling networks can utilise excess heat available from various sources, including excess heat from urban facilities (i.e. data centres, sewage collectors, cooling systems of tertiary buildings, underground stations). However, due to some regulatory challenges, lack of large-scale replicable demonstrators and appropriate financial support schemes this opportunity is wasted.
This is why we are part of ReUseHeat, a research project funded by the European Union's H2020 Programme under grant agreement 767429 that aims at demonstrating first of their kind advanced, modular and replicable systems enabling the recovery and reuse of excess heat available at the urban level in 4 demonstrators.
We are therefore glad to invite you policy workshop organised in the framework of ReUseHeat in order to have an open and interactive debate on how to make waste heat recovery investments happen.
In particular, Giorgio Bonvicini – RINA Environment & Climate Change – will take part in the session “Promoting financial support and guarantees” taking place at 12.15 pm and will make a speech about “ReUseHeat proposal for a Credit Facility for Urban Waste Heat Recovery Projects”.
The attendance is free of charge, but due to the limited capacity of the venue, is subject to approval by the organisers. Please do not book your travel or accommodation before you receive a confirmation email.
