• Webinar & E-Learning 8 September 2023 Empowering the energy transition: energy cooperatives and energy communities (Webinar) - 19.04.2023 Although a nascent business model, today energy cooperatives and energy communities cover already a wide range of activities in renewable energies and energy efficiency in several countries. These are local and citizen-led initiatives that put in common investment means and democratic principles to implement the energy transition. Decentralized renewables and small-scale energy efficiency can quickly materialise and become a solution to energy security and decarbonisation, and benefit from…
• Webinar & E-Learning 24 August 2023 District Cooling Webinar Series (Part I): Evolution of DC in Gulf Cities (Webinar) - 05.06.2023 The rising cooling demand is a pressing concern for energy planners in the GCC region, contributing to higher natural gas consumption in power generation and reducing export prospects. District cooling is increasingly seen as an alternative to conventional cooling due to its lower energy demand and greenhouse gas emissions. The district cooling capacity has expanded exponentially in the last decade, and regulatory frameworks are emerging across major cities in the Gulf region. The number of…
• Webinar & E-Learning 25 November 2022 District Energy - A Case study of Floating Office in Rotterdam (Webinar) - 06.10.2022 Floating Office Rotterdam is the largest floating office in the world. Off-grid and carbon-neutral, it floats if water levels rise due to climate change. The heat pump with surface water heat exchange is one of the innovations that showcases the building’s mission for climate change. The heat/cold generation is supplied by 2 heat pumps which are placed in the floating building’s pontoon. The pontoon consists of 15 similar prefab concrete floating boxes, with a heat-generating network of tubes…
