We are excited to unveil the third and final panel discussion at our upcoming event: “Sustainability, Risks, and Barriers in Energy Harvesting.” This session will bring together leading experts to discuss the critical challenges and opportunities in integrating energy harvesting technologies into water networks.
While energy harvesting presents an exciting opportunity for sustainability and efficiency in water networks, real-world implementation comes with its own set of challenges. This panel will explore regulatory hurdles, economic feasibility, and long-term sustainability while addressing how policies and innovative strategies can help overcome these barriers.
Moderator: David Finger (H-HOPE) – Presenting key findings from WP2, shedding light on sustainability challenges and risks in energy harvesting.
Panelists:
Marco Schiavon (Università degli Studi di Padova) – Bringing insights on environmental sustainability in water networks.
Andrea Di Piazza (Fondazione Utilitatis) – Expert in utility-driven innovation and regulatory frameworks.
Lydia Vamvakeridou-Lyroudia (KWR Water Research Institute) – Leading digital water solutions for sustainable water management.
Jean-Yves Stenuick (Aqua Publica Europea) – Representing public water operators across Europe with a focus on policy and governance.
This session will explore the role of regulatory frameworks in accelerating or hindering energy harvesting adoption, economic and financial considerations for implementation, policy recommendations for integrating sustainable energy solutions into water networks, and lessons learned from real-world applications and ongoing projects.
Join us for this crucial discussion on how to navigate the risks and barriers to unlock the full potential of energy harvesting in water systems.
