Summer Event - L'eau au service de l'énergie durable

On June 11, 2024, the H2O and Tweed Clusters invite you to their Summer Event at the magnificent Lacs de l'Eau d'Heure.

The theme chosen for the day is "Water for sustainable energy".

Come and discover thermal energy exploitation surface water, public water networks and industrial water, as well as solutions for storage of intermittent renewable energies.

And seize the opportunity to relaxed, festive networking with players in the water and energy sectors!

Geothermal energy will be discussed at an upcoming TWEED and H2O Cluster event on November 14, 2024 (Save the date!).

This event is part of the coordination mission of the Circular Wallonia strategy for water and is supported by the Wallonia Recovery Plan.
