The 2cool2waste projects cluster has grown into an impactful and strong initiative. 5 projects of the cluster met mid-November at Enlit Europe to showcase their solutions, in Bilbao: SENERGY NETS, THUNDER, SEEDS EU project, SUSHEAT and RE-WITCH.
With a dedicated stand in the EU Projects Zone, the projects had many opportunities to discuss how they are shaping the future of heating and cooling solutions. The 5 projects organised a session – “Game-changing solutions in the field of sustainable industrial cooling and heating” , highlighting how essential waste heat recovery is for a greener and more resilient European energy system and showcasing the solutions our projects are actively developing- with guest speakers:
👩🏫 Silvia Trevisan, Professor – KTH Royal Institute of Technology
👩🏫 Anaïs Gandelin, Communication & Graphic Design manager – R2M Solution
👨🏫 Jose Luis Corrales Ciganda – TECNALIA Research & Innovation
👨🏫 Renato Luise, Dr. (PhD) – EIFER – European Institute for Energy Research
👨🏫 Matteo Porta, Senior Project Engineer – RINA
Finally, it was an opportunity for SEEDS and RE-WITCH to record for the ENLIT EU Energy Projects Podcast: How the 2Cool2Waste cluster is turning waste heat into an opportunity. The podcast hosted Mohaddeseh Maktabifard and José Luis Corrales Ciganda, both representing the inspiring 2Cool2Waste cluster; an initiative uniting EU-funded projects that transform waste heat from an overlooked by-product into a practical, clean-energy resource.
