Event details

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.

The workshop, located in Naninne, is an ETA (entreprise de travail adapté) employing 320 people, 87% of whom are disabled.

Today, 2 x 350kW boilers, installed in a double container, and 2 mobile containers filled with wood chips provide sustainable heating for this company, which reconciles social, economic and environmental dimensions.

How did this company go from using 100,000m³ of gas per year to 1000m³ of wood chips per year? How is the CO2 released by wood combustion "better" than that of gas? Our speakers will explain it to you during this morning dedicated to biomass heating.
