As Europe intensifies its shift from fossil fuels, a lesser-known player is “making waves” in the clean energy transition: aquathermal energy. Tapping into the latent heat of water bodies, this technology promises to redefine sustainable heating.In this first episode of the WaterWarmth podcasts, host Lesya Logvynenko is joined by Lenn Coussement from Extraqt and Lars Zwaaneveldt, a Dutch policymaker, to uncover the potential of aquathermal systems. From technical feasibility to policy roadblocks, they explore whether this emerging solution can scale up – or if it will remain a niche experiment in Europe’s energy mix.🎧 Tune in to find out!
