Innovative clean energy technologies for coal regions
Information
Previous Just Transition Platform events have discussed a variety of clean energy technology options for coal regions, such as district heating, hydrogen, decarbonising energy-intensive industry, and repurposing of coal-fired power plants. Beyond these, further technological solutions are becoming more feasible, such as using geothermal heat from closed (underground) coal mines and installing large-scale heat pumps for district heating networks or industrial heat consumers. In this session, these and other newly clean energy emerging technologies will be presented to inspire stakeholders to take innovative and complementary approaches to make use of existing infrastructures.
