Heat networks

A way forward for sustainable heating

As reliance on fossil fuels nears its end, the question arises of how to replace natural gas as a heating source in Brussels. One of the alternatives to partially replace natural gas is the development of heat networks.

Our projects

Neder-Over-Heembeek

The City of Brussels, Bruxelles-Énergie and Sibelga are joining forces to work on an extended heat network in Neder-Over-Heembeek.

Northern Quarter

We are also taking part in a European call for projects, with a view to developing a 5th-generation heat network in the Northern Quarter.

Heating “as a service”

Developing heat networks within the urban fabric helps to make the city more sustainable. They could play a significant role in the decarbonisation of heating in Brussels by 2050.

What does the future look like for heat networks?

At the heart of the Neder-Over-Heembeek project

Find out how the Bruxelles-Énergie incinerator will soon be used as a source of heating for social housing, schools, a swimming pool and other public buildings.
