New year’s greetings to the energy community

The WIP Family would like to take the chance and wish you and your loved ones a wonderful new year of 2022, much happiness, laughter and health.

The past two years have been extraordinary and challenging, but in a way it brought us closer together and showed us how the environment can quickly adapt, when we as humans take a step back from our usual ways.

Let’s learn from this and put our joint effort into making the world a greener place and taking a step further toward the global energy transition.

We are looking forward to a year full of new exciting projects, new collaborations and hopefully, to meeting the global energy community again in person soon.

THI & WIP conference recordings available

THI & WIP conference showing the pathway towards an enhanced collaboration between industry and higher education in Africa

Together with the Technical University of Ingolstadt (THI), WIP successfully organised at the end of 2021 the final conference of the project “HAW Kenya - Network of Excellence for Universities of Applied Sciences”. The project HAW Kenya was funded by the German Academic Exchange Service (DAAD), and its objective was to familiarise interested Kenyan universities, scientists, and junior staff with teaching practices at German universities of applied sciences in the field of renewable energies.

The final project conference, titled “Linking Science and Industry: Renewable Energy Research, Innovation and Higher Education in Africa” provided a platform for exchange of knowledge and experiences about challenges and opportunities of renewable energies in Kenya / Africa.

One of the main conclusions of the event was that, even though there is still much to be done to bridge the gap between industry and higher education institutions, efforts are already underway from both sides and both parts would highly benefit from an enhanced collaboration.

Full recording of the conference and the presentations will be soon uploaded HERE.

EnergyMatching selected for the Dutch National BIPV award

WIP is pleased to announce that a demonstration site of the EnergyMatching project, for which WIP is responsible for the Dissemination & Communication activities, has been selected for the Dutch National BIPV award! The demonstration site in the Netherlands features the largest Dutch industrial BIPV installation, with a size of 540 square meters and a total output of 900 KWp, more than double the building’s energy demand. The solar panels were installed with the innovative Click-&-Go system from TULiPPS, which enables seamless building integration, fast installation and easy maintenance. Panels were provided by Solitek and ONYX. Discover more about the Dutch Demonstration site at the EnergyMatching website: https://www.energymatching.eu/demo-sites/dutch-demo-site/

AgroFossilFree online workshops in February

In the framework of the AgroFossilFree project, three workshops are organized together with LandSchafftEnergie. The first workshop is about open-field agriculture with a main focus on innovative drive types. Tractor manufacturers will present the Fendt e100 Vario electric tractor and alternative drives from John Deere. This is complemented by overview lectures of experts from LandSchafftEnergie at the Technology and Support Centre (TFZ), the Bavarian State Institute for Agriculture (LfL) and WIP Renewable Energies (WIP).

The second workshop will include topics on energy efficiency and renewable energies in greenhouse agriculture while the third workshop will handle topics on energy efficiency and renewable energies in livestock farming.

Participation in the workshop is free of charge, registration is requested. The workshop will be held in German.

DibiCoo virtual study tours in different regions

In the spring of 2022, three exciting study tours will be held as part of the DibiCoo project. These tours will be organised by project partners in Argentina, South Africa and Indonesia. The Argentinian and Indonesian study tours will be held as virtual events, with videos of local biogas plants that can be watched prior to the live discussion with plant operators in the webinar, whereas the event in South Africa is planned to be held physically, visiting local biogas plants together with South African and international stakeholders.  

Besides these activities, DibiCoo is also organising additional capacity building and design trainings in these and more areas. If you are interested in taking part in one of these events, visit www.dibicoo.org and stay tuned for more information coming soon.

DiBiCoo is a cooperation project between biogas technology exporting and importing countries, with the overall objective to support the European biogas/biomethane industry by preparing markets for the import of sustainable biogas/biomethane technologies from Europe to developing and emerging countries.

BIOFIT Final Policy Conference

On 18-20 January 2022, the BIOFIT Final Policy Conference on “How to implement bioenergy in existing industrial installations” took place as online event. The conference presented BIOFIT results in four Industry Sessions, each of them addressing a specific industry sector, namely first-generation biofuels, pulp and paper, fossil refineries, fossil firing power and CHP. In each of these sessions, an overview of the respective industry sector was provided, followed by presentations on specific case studies and sectoral policy recommendations.

All conference presentations will soon be available at: https://www.biofit-h2020.eu/biofit-final-policy-conference/

Key BIOFIT Policy Recommendations are summarised in a paper available at:

SAVE THE DATE – REPLACE workshop coming soon

REPLACE workshop “Towards Renewable Heating & Cooling: Replacement of Inefficient Systems in the Residential Sector”

The REPLACE project partners are pleased to invite you to the event “Towards Renewable Heating & Cooling: Replacement of Inefficient Systems in the Residential Sector” to present the key findings of the project and discuss the framework conditions for replacement, exchanging old conventional fossil fuel systems with renewable ones. The workshop will take place in the afternoon of the 07th of April 2022 in Wels (Austria), as part of the international World Sustainable Energy Days (WSED).

This event is an excellent opportunity to learn how the phase-out of fossil-based heating systems can be brought forward in the European agenda and to find out more about modern renewable technologies. The event will also provide the chance to engage with key policymakers, industry and end-users representatives on the potential and challenges of renewable H&C solutions in buildings. We invite you for discussions on how renewable energy at home can contribute to Europe’s energy transition, while empowering consumers in their energy choices. You will find the event agenda and registration information at this link.

Hyposo – a dynamic start into 2022

The HYPOSO project has started the year 2022 with several activities. Despite the ongoing Covid-19 pandemic, the capacity building course for stakeholders from the African partner countries Cameroon and Uganda has started, and the first Workshop on Framework Conditions in Cameroon, and the site visits of high potential sites in Cameroon are about to start or are currently ongoing.

The first of two weeks of capacity building was carried out from 10 to 14 January 2022. The lectures were organised as online lectures and included the topics Basics of hydropower exploitation, Hydropower systems, Dams and storage basin, Power waterways, Hydrology, Hydraulic design, GIS & HP potential, and Computer based tools for HPP resources. A positive side effect of the organisation as online lectures was, that more participants could benefit from them.
 
Figure 1: Participants of the first week of the capacity building course in Uganda

The second week of the capacity building course will be held from 31 January until 5 February 2022 as physical event in Cameroon.

The Workshop on Framework Conditions will be held on 28 January 2022 in Yaoundé and will discuss the actual situation and needs for hydropower in Cameroon together with policy makers, local authorities, private and public financing institutions, and project developers and investors. In January, HYPOSO experts visited three promising sites in Cameroon to prepare pre-feasibility studies which will be presented first exclusively on the HYPOSO Platform for the EU industry. Interested stakeholders are of course still invited to join the online forum.

Register now via the HYPOSO Platform.
