While policymakers debate and utilities scale slowly, local
communities are quietly and quickly getting to work. In
the latest episode of the WaterWarmth podcast, host Lesia
Logvynenko spoke with two such changemakers who are
turning aqua thermal energy (AET) into reality from the
ground up: Morten Westergaard, Special Climate and Energy
Advisor at Middelfart Municipality in Denmark, and Joachim
Vanwalleghem, Project Coordinator at Energent in Belgium.
Both guests represent energy communities that are not only
testing the potential of aqua thermal energy but are also
actively shaping the future of sustainable heating, making it
local, democratic, and community-driven.
