You will have the opportunity to learn about three different cross-border European projects, at various stages of progress, and to find out more about the challenges and key success factors involved in implementing such projects. The Meuse-Rhine Interreg Cross_HEAT project will also be presented, with a focus on the expected outcomes and the regulatory challenges encountered.
District heating is a fabulous tool for massively decarbonizing thermal needs. The Interreg Cross_HEAT project focuses on an additional feature : cross-border district heating, whose success depends heavily on governance and regulatory alignment. Therefore, gaining experience from operational cross-border projects and learning more about the possible governance models and regulatory specificities of neighboring countries might be particularly helpful. That’s the objective of the webinar that will be organized on June 16, from 11 to 12.30.
