The WaterWarmth project, 21 partners  across 6 countries in the North Sea region work together to bring lasting change to the way we use energy. Beyond the partnership, the project expects to engage at least 30 external partners, such as municipalities, regions and installers. The main aim is that such organizations will adopt and implement the joint strategies and action plans during or after the project. 

In the project practical examples and pilots where aquathermal energy works are developed and local energy communities are provided with the practical know-how to integrate aquathermal energy in their operations, reducing reliance on fossil fuels

The project’s expected results are:

To create a strategy to identify areas where aquathermal systems can provide a viable solution for the energy transition

To  bolster European and national support for regional and local authorities that facilitate energy communities.

To develop a strategy for strengthening local energy security and independence.

To create an action plan for utilizing the economic potential of aquathermal energy aimed at energy communities.

To take an European approach to develop an action plan that can continue AE heating and cooling in an international setting.

To develop a roadmap for collective AE systems for energy communities.
