MAGNITUDE aims to develop business and market mechanisms as well as supporting coordination tools to provide flexibility to the European electricity system, by increasing and optimizing synergies between electricity, gas and heat systems.

The European STRATEGO project helped national and local authorities to develop a policy vision for sustainable heating and cooling plans. Although the demand for heat is twice as high as the demand for electricity, the heating policy is just starting to be developed, while …

STORM tackles energy efficiency at district level. It aims to demonstrate that, thanks to a smart District Heating & Cooling (DHC) networks’ controller, energy savings can reach up to 30%. In that perspective, the project partners will develop a controller based on self …

The ECODISTR-ICT project develops an integrated decision support tool that facilitates decision making on the retrofitting and renewal of existing districts and its composing buildings. It connects the main decision makers in urban district transformation programs, acting …

In BAMB, 16 partners from 8 European countries are working together with one mission – enabling a systemic shift in the building sector by investigating and creating circular solutions. The project is developing and integrating approaches, methods and tools that will enable …

A city operating entirely on clean energy. In theory, it's possible. But in real life? How to integrate new solutions in existing buildings, systems and people's lives? What are the technical, economic or social barriers? And how to overcome these? That's what we learn by …

GeoWatt researches fourth-generation thermal grids for balancing the local demand of groups of users for heat or cold with the available supply.

In the SmarThor project, EnergyVille is developing an ICT platform that can control a fully integrated multi-energy system, using EnergyVille’s own algorithms. We aim for real-life and properly functioning demos in residential areas or industrial sites with an optimally …

Electric vehicles of all types, shapes and sizes are finding their way to European roads and currently make up 0.34% of the European car market. However, the adoption of EVs has not gone as fast as initially hoped. The main reasons for this are Range anxiety: caused by …

The European Commission, through DG Energy, has awarded the AIDRES project to EnergyVille/VITO NV to provide geographical mapping of future energy and feedstock needs of Energy Intensive Industries (EIIs) in Europe. The resulting data will serve as input for data …

The ConnectSME project facilitates demonstration projects on durable technological innovations, developed by SMEs in Flanders and the Southern Netherlands. The participating test gardens offer an environment for developing and demonstrating innovating technologies, all …

InduFlexControl aims to unlock and control the flexibility of energy-intensive processes and power-to-X technologies to optimally reduce CO2 in a way that is suited to the overall industrial and energy eco-system.
