First edition of the Tour du Bois Energie by Valbiom: Discover innovative heat networks in Wallonia. For its first edition, the Tour du Bois Energie, organized by Valbiom (Valorisation de la Biomasse), takes you to 3 sites that have developed a heat network in Wallonia.
How to heat sustainably? How can you achieve carbon neutrality and sustainability with biomass in your company or municipality? Why develop heating networks in Wallonia? How to supply a heating network? What is the timeline for this type of project? etc.
A real estate project is the perfect opportunity to set up an efficient heating network with very low CO2 emissions. Combining sustainability and profitability: that's the challenge of a heating network powered by wood chips. For local authorities, property developers or tenants, the impact of their heating system on climate change is a recurring issue. Today, a low-cost, CO2-neutral energy system that is independent of oil imports is a godsend for everyone involved.
Domaine des pléaides is an inspiring example. Built in Visé between 2009 and 2020, this biomass heating network supplies over 275 homes, as well as a school and a sports hall.
