Sustainable heating with the heating network in Roeselare
The heat grid in Roeselare: A sustainable solution
The heat network in Roeselare uses the heat released from the incineration of non-recyclable waste. This heat is transported to buildings in the city via a 9-kilometer-long underground pipe network. The system provides efficient and environmentally friendly heating to the connected buildings, resulting in reduced CO2 emissions. Roeselare has positioned itself as a forerunner in the field of renewable energy in Flanders.
Expanding the heat grid for a greener future
With the goal of significantly reducing CO2 emissions by 2020, Roeselare has ambitious plans to expand its heat network. In 2017, about 20 additional organizations will be heating via the heat network, including AZ Delta (Brugsesteenweg), the CVO, the Burgerschool, residential project Het Laere-Matexi (Noordstraat), allotment Licht & Ruimte (Oostnieuwkerksesteenweg), MSKA (Tant campus) and the future swimming pool at Schiervelde. As a result, the heat network will more than double in length, to as much as 19 kilometers.
