This webinar is organised jointly by two Interreg projects (REHEATEAST and Heat 35) and two Horizon Europe I3 projects (Greet CE and Greet Geo). Energy Institute Hrvoje Pozar is a partner in all the projects. All projects focus primarily on Central and Southern Europe.
The presentations will introduce a solution that utilises wastewater waste heat, with a heat generation potential of over 10 MW in larger cities with over 100,000 inhabitants and an award-winning technology that converts CO2 created in energy production to useful materials. Both technologies can have major impact on the environmental and financial sustainability of district heating and geothermal energy production.
The solutions will be presented by two key speakers:
- Pál Kiss from Thermowatt will introduce an award-winning patented technology (protected in 37 countries) that utilises wastewater waste heat to provide environmentally friendly and cost-effective energy for heating and cooling buildings, with operational references exceeding 10 MW of installed capacity.
- Balázs Hepp from eChemicles will showcase a scalable low-temperature electrochemical process that uses renewable energy to convert CO₂ into valuable e-chemicals such as carbon monoxide and ethylene. The company’s innovation was recognised with the first prize at the EIT Manufacturing Day BoostUp! East 2025 competition and is among the finalists of the European Commission’s Innovation Radar Prize 2025, highlighting its potential in the climate, energy, and mobility sectors.
This webinar aims to raise awareness and knowledge of highly innovative technologies that can enable the utilisation of waste generated in urban infrastructure. The presentations will introduce a solution that utilises wastewater waste heat, with a heat generation potential of over 10 MW in larger cities with over 100,000 inhabitants and an award-winning technology that converts CO2 created in energy production to useful materials.
