Action Plans

Contribution to the decrease of carbon footprint in the aviation sector through an industrial management of the end of life of planes with the support of digitalization and advanced circularity of planes composing materials.

The CISTEMEEC project will cover the following areas: industrial value chains, energy transition, electric mobility and the circular economy, involving a consortium of eleven Walloon partners covering the circularity value chain of electric mobility.

RESTINA is a research project focusing on the recycling of solar panels and the development of development of advanced composite materials as anode materials for Li-ion batteries in collaboration with other European universities and research centres and an industrial group.

Pre-treatment of waste and subproducts of mineral origin with a view to their integration into material formulations for the offshore wind industry.

Project to develop CO2 capture and storage by carbonation of bottom ash and concrete with reduced cement content

The ECOFLEX-project, where nine Belgian partners collaborate, aims to unlock the potential of electric cars and energy communities to balance the grid in a climate neutral way. Partners : VUB (project coordinator), Flexcity, Flux50, Haulogy, IDETA, Pluginvest, TWEED and UGent.

The prototype under development will convert surplus photovoltaic energy into hot water, with funding earmarked for developing the on-board software for the heating control unit.

Propose a methodology accompanied by didactic and operational support to enable companies to easily carry out their water footprint.

The project develops an online tool to assess the risks of reusing treated wastewater in urban, agricultural, and industrial sectors. It examines the impacts on human health and the environment, based on experiences from other European countries, and sets indicators and objective limits for Wallonia.

Project HYPOP, HYdrogen Public Opinion and accePtance, will support the hydrogen deployment in Europe, enhancing the involvement of citizens and providing guidelines to increase trust in hydrogen implementation. A clean and clear communication will be key for hydrogen technological development with social acceptance.

For better water management, buried infiltration systems temporarily store rainwater and gradually infiltrate it into the soil. This project aims to study the durability of these systems and the efficiency of filters to avoid clogging and reduce maintenance costs.

EcoH2O is a project aimed at identifying water-efficient sanitary devices in buildings, such as showers, toilets, and sinks. In collaboration with manufacturers and through full-scale trials, Buildwise conducts a study to provide installation recommendations for professionals, promoting water-saving practices.

Digital solution plans optimum use of rainwater for future activities, conserving resources and emptying cisterns before storms.

The aim of our project is to promote the development of the clean hydrogen sector by reducing the obstacles to the European recognition of skills and related systems through joint action plans and by promoting careers that can contribute to the energy transition through new practical training schemes.

WaterstofNet and Tweed have both been coordinating their regional hydrogen clusters in Flanders and Wallonia respectively for several years and ointly established a national hydrogen council that aims to transcend the various political levels in our country.

Identify locations suitable for the installation of pumped storage units, and define the installed capacity in the light of geographical characteristics and technical, economic, environmental and legislative constraints.
