Renewable energy

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.

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.

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.

The project aims to support small and medium-sized enterprises in their energy transition, with a focus on the development and implementation of common infrastructure. Particular attention is paid to the analysis of hydrogen-integrating solutions, evaluated for their technical, economic and environmental relevance.
