Renewable energy for housing and industries
A Heating Network to Sustainably Supply Charleroi’s Infrastructure.
Project Objectives
This network will recover waste heat from several industrial sites in the Western gate to supply heat to a DHC network located in the upper part of Charleroi. The network will meet the thermal energy needs of 6 buildings belonging to the city of Charleroi.
Waste Heat Recovery
Waste heat is thermal energy inevitably produced during industrial processes or other human activities, but which is not utilized and is generally dissipated into the environment. This lost heat can come from various sources, such as power plants, metallurgical factories, waste incinerators, or even data centers.
By recovering and utilizing this heat, it is possible to use it for energy needs such as building heating via district heating networks. This not only improves overall energy efficiency by reducing waste, but also decreases greenhouse gas emissions by substituting conventional energy sources.
The integration of waste heat into heating networks is therefore an important strategy for energy transition and the reduction of the carbon footprint of industrial activities.

Benefits for the Community
The deployment of the district heating network in Charleroi offers concrete benefits for the community by providing an eco-friendly and economical heat source. By using renewable energy from waste heat, this project reduces costs for residents and decreases the local carbon footprint, while contributing to a healthier and more sustainable environment.
