Waterkant Festival 2018

Participants will enjoy a brief inspirational talk (10 min) on the possibilities of storing and more intelligently using energy from intermittent renewable sources such as wind and sun. In a workshop style approach we will then explore our own relationships to the various forms of energy (e.g. thermal, electrical and mobility), and jointly synthesize our own expectations and wishes for our neighborhood’s energy system of the future and how we want to move around to a vision for 2030 .

Background
Power-to-X technologies using renewable primary energy sources already today allow for the efficient integration of the power and heat sector as well as power and mobility sectors. How the efficient and economically viable integration of these three sectors can be achieved, using for example hydrogen based technologies, will be discussed in this session using the town and region of Heide as an example. The participants of the session will be invited to explore business models and ways of funding neighborhood scale projects as a means of stimulating local economic growth and community participation.
