Living Lab Event - Smart Mobility Hub:
How to connect Blue Gate Antwerp with the CityBlue Gate Antwerp:
Blue Gate Antwerp (BGA) is the climate neutral business park reserved for innovative companies with a well-defined ambition: linear growth through circular operations. Blue Gate Antwerp wants to equip their business site with a fossil free mobility hub. A fossil free fuel grid will be build and vehicles will be shared. Logistics is to be shared by the companies on-site to reduce (half) empty rides of the trucks. Also, if possible, several companies can load the same truck to go to the city instead of several trucks. Shared cars can be used on-site, but will probably be more used by city of Antwerp, so in this way Blue Gate shares their parking and loading facilities with the city. The mobility hub must operate on fossil free fuels and in the future will completely consist of autonomous vehicles. However, for now, this is not a necessity, the infrastructure just has to be ready/adjustable. Read more HERE.
Living Lab Event - CO2 neutral multi energy grid in Green Energy Park in Zellik:
Green Energy Park (GEP) is a centre of expertise in sustainable energy systems, mobility, smart regions and healthcare technology. An on-site green datacentre offers sufficient capacity to support calculations by research institutes and companies. will build a multi-energy grid on their site. A low-temperature thermal grid to heat the buildings on the site, as well as a residential area nearby. The thermal grid needs to be equipped for bi-directional exchange between the business area and the residential area, since each end-user can consume or inject heat into this grid. Additionally, they will generate electricity by solar and wind, this will be injected into the national electricity grid. Read more HERE.
