Renewable energy

Le projet SOLARCYCLE vise à la création d’une unité de recyclage et de revalorisation des matériaux constituant les panneaux photovoltaïques de génération 1 en Wallonie.

RenoWatt is an active purchasing centre in the energy transition of public buildings.

Le projet « INTERESTS » ou « INTE grated R enewable E nergy power ST ationS » vise l’intégration mixte d’une exploitation « domestique » (véhicules/ « pompes » / « car pooling/sharing ») et d’une exploitation « industrielle » (production et écoulement H2 , flexibilité par rapport au réseau) de cette électricité « locale ».

Torero will demonstrate a cost-, resource-, and energy-efficient technology concept for producing bioethanol from a wood waste feedstock, fully integrated in a large-scale, industrially functional steel mill.

Innovative concept of mini electrical storage by pumping/turbining (PEPS), reusing abandoned or active industrial sites.

The obstacles to achieving carbon neutrality in heavy-duty vehicles are becoming more evident. While there is potential for further efficiency enhancements in diesel trucks, or adopting alternative fuels like biofuels and natural gas, a genuinely emission-free option—alongside low-carbon energy sources upstream—is essential for reaching ambitious long-term CO2 reduction targets.

The AMORCE project (Macro and Microeconomic Analysis for Optimization and Replicability of Energy Communities) aims to study the societal gain linked to the development of new energy exchange modes, and to propose coherent schemes and models of pricing/protocol/security for all actors, and above all, understandable to citizens and end users.

Circular Economy and Electric Mobility: functional recycling by electro-hydraulic fragmentation, electro-leaching and anti-solvent precipitation of lithium ion batteries.

The Mineral LOOP project aims to design, develop, install, and operate a pilot plant on a Carmeuse site for the transformation of mineral waste/by-products with a capacity of 10,000 tonnes per year, using hydraulic setting and carbonation reactions at ambient pressure and temperature. This pilot will be powered by industrial CO₂ from lime kilns.

Study of the influence of the physicochemical characteristics and purification of silicon from the recycling of photovoltaic panels on its electrochemical performance as anode material.

The SOCCER project, an acronym for SOCio-Economics of Renewable Energy Communities, is based on a living laboratory to develop a guide of good citizen practices and identify key factors for success for stakeholders (public authorities, citizens, businesses, the associative and non-market sector), to establish inclusive RECs and shared mobility.

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.

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.

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.

Recovery and valorization of mineral-based waste and by-products for integration into circular specialty concrete formulations intended for offshore wind applications.

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

Carbon, Fertility and Energy: from hardwood by-products to biochar

Soliseco offers an innovative solution that converts surplus photovoltaic energy into domestic hot water. Easy to install and compatible with existing systems, it enhances self-consumption, reduces CO₂ emissions, and supports the energy transition.

CROSS_HEAT est un projet Interreg Meuse-Rhin (NL-BE-DE) qui prépare un réseau transfrontalier de chauffage urbain dans la région Herzogenrath-Kerkrade-Landgraaf, remplaçant les sources fossiles par de la chaleur résiduelle et géothermique partagée, surmontant les différences juridiques et réglementaires, et impliquant les acteurs régionaux, citoyens et PME.

STEPinBEL will assess the potential for new pumped storage hydropower (PSH) in Belgium to increase the flexibility and resilience of the electricity network. It starts with an existing initial mapping, which will be improved and extended throughout Belgium.
