HEATLEAP Final Dissemination Event

The HEATLEAP project aims to demonstrate the environmental and economic benefits of waste heat recovery systems such as large heat pumps in energy intensive industries and gas expanders in gas distribution networks by testing these technologies at real scale.

This event was organised in the framework of the HEATLEAP project, co-funded by the LIFE programme of the European Union. The event was open to anyone with an interest in energy issues and participation was free of charge. Participants could choose to attend in person or follow the proceedings online (via Zoom).

The event took place at: L42 Business Center, Rue de la Loi 42, Brussels, Belgium
