1st prize winning concept „Never mind the future?? – No! – Water-management with a perspective!” results in further action for a sustainable future
Experts of the waste-water-management company „Emschergenossenschaft” started to build an expert group to further research the potential, and analyse the cost-benefit, of conducting a waste-water-heat-using installation to produce energy and reduce carbon dioxide emissions and costs in the Ruhr area.
The results of the study and further plans were introduced by Adrian Treis of the Emschergenossenschaft at the Agenda 21-round table discussion „Waste Water – Energy of the Future?!”. The round table was initiated by the Local Agenda 21 in cooperation with the students of the 1st prize winning project „Never mind the future?? – No! – Water management with a perspective!” and the university of Duisburg-Essen. Numerous people from Local Authorities, Energy Sector Businesses , residential owners around the Ruhr area, consultants and research institutions discussed the potential of the project and (future) developments. A pilot waste-water-heat-using plant is planned to be implemented in the city of Bochum. Further more, plans are being made make this 1st prize winning project a reality.
