Renewable energy for a hospital, as well as housing and municipal buildings
A District Heating Network to Sustainably Supply Liège’s Infrastructure.
Project Objectives
This district heating network around the Montlégia hospital will recover the hospital’s waste heat, complemented by geothermal energy, to supply Légiapark and other housing developments.
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 and geothermal energy into district heating networks is therefore an important strategy for the energy transition and the reduction of the carbon footprint of industrial activities.

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