With the necessary information leaflets and impressions, the group set to work on their school assignment in the afternoon: make a poster, film or presentation about what you experienced in the morning.
According to the teachers, it was an educational day for the children, who now also have a better view on the concept of ‘sustainability’.

In 2050, everyone in the Netherlands will “be rid of natural gas”. Natural gas is a fossil fuel. If you burn natural gas, CO₂ is released. CO emissions cause climate change and we want to counter that. No less than 195 countries made agreements in 2015 during the Climate Agreement in Paris to emit less CO₂. The Netherlands also wants to keep to the agreements from the Climate Agreement. If we want to have a sustainable energy supply in the Netherlands in 2050, then we have to get started (also in Brunssum).

With reference to the continuous frost, the exploratory drilling, which was scheduled for January 21 last, was postponed until the frost is over. The exporting party GEBO BV from Dessel (B) has decided this in consultation with Mijnwater B.V. The exploratory drilling for an open soil energy system (heat-cold storage ATES) takes place between the flats at the Albert Schweitzerstraat and Henri Dunantstraat and is, amongst other things, a matter of making natural gas-free homes in Brunssum.
If you have any questions about the test drilling, please contact our project manager Huub Glas, h.glas@mijnwater.com.

As one of the participants in the LEKTA alliance, Mijnwater B.V is sustainable with the Dutch Earth Week Limburg.
LEKTA stands for the Limburg Energy and Climate Transition Approach, and that name says it all: it’s all about tackling it. Acting together by combining existing initiatives and making them bigger, learning from each other and letting new ideas grow into successful projects. A real alliance in which Limburg citizens, companies, organizations and governments combine their sustainable strengths. Thinking together about how things can be different, on the road to a CO2-neutral Limburg.
LEKTA is an initiative of the Province of Limburg that now has a strong response in the region. During four first ‘transition tables’, a total of around a hundred frontrunners have been thinking about ways in which sustainability can be accelerated and broadened. Look for the program at: www.dutchearthweek.nl.
We are working sustainably throughout the year. More information: www.mijnwater.com or send an email to info@mijnwater.com. Group visits only on request.

Thermal energy storage in urban regions
During this international conference we draw further attention to the knowledge we have in Heerlen for many years now in the field of energy storage. Sustainable energy, that is. The old, closed mines, now serve as a hot water source for the supply of energy. A tank full of mine water energy to heat (and cool) homes, offices and shops. A concept developed by Mijnwater B.V. is now to roll out to the rest of the Netherlands, Europe and the world … even where there are no mines.

33 years old and in my final year of advanced master in ‘sustainable energy management’ at the University of Liege. I recently graduated with a Master in geology in the same university. I got the possibility to work as a trainee with Minewater B.V. As part of my graduation project I am working on the assessment of Minewater Project application around Liege (Belgium). Along this research some specific parameters will be used to classify abandoned mines and those which have the high geothermal potential. A pre-feasibility studies will assess sites similarity with Minewater installations at Heerlen in Netherlands. After this study, I would like to work in the domain dealing with geology, energy, and/or environment.

Parkstad energie onafhankelijk met mijnwater ( Uit Dichterbij, het magazine voor leden van Rabobank Parkstad Limburg, voorjaar 2015)
Emiel Roemer bracht vanmiddag een bezoek aan Mijnwater B.V. Op uitnodiging van de SP Heerlen en wethouder J. Clemens bezocht hij een van de (cluster)kelders van Mijnwater waar op innovatieve wijze water (koud en warm) uit de voormalige steenkoolmijnen als duurzame energie uitgewisseld wordt tussen aangesloten bedrijven zoals APG. Emiel Roemer was blij verrast over deze vorm van duurzame energielevering aan bedrijven, kantoren en woningen in Heerlen.

De MAB wordt aangesloten op het mijnwaternet om de accommodatie van warmte, koude en warm tapwater te voorzien. Door de leidingen, die vanaf het APG gebouw worden aangelegd, levert Mijnwater BV warmte die onder andere vrijkomt in het datacentrum van APG. Mijnwater legt deze mijnwaterleidingen aan naar MAB om tot een duurzame energievoorziening te komen in combinatie met de opwekking van elektriciteit door middel van Photo Voltäische (PV) zonnecellen op het dak. Mijnwater levert hierdoor op duurzame wijze alle energie voor het gebouw.
Louis Hiddes aan het woord in het blad ‘Innovators aan het woord’ waarin innovators hun ervaringen delen en resultaten geven op het gebied van energie-innovatie. Louis Hiddes, directeur vertelt over de ontwikkelingen rondom mijnwater als duurzame energiebron en de doorontwikkeling naar een technologie die de wereld zal veroveren. “Dit vergt multidisciplinaire samenwerking en lef”, volgens Louis Hiddes.

De landelijke campagne Ons Water schenkt aandacht aan mijnwater als kwalitatieve duurzame energie. Met de campagne Ons Water worden Nederlanders bewust gemaakt van het feit dat schoon, veilig en voldoende water niet vanzelfsprekend is. Om Nederland te beschermen tegen water, maar ook om van te genieten en te gebruiken. Als leverancier van deze duurzame energie staat Mijnwater BV in de schijnwerpers als een van de voorbeeldprojecten, waarbij water uit de oude steenkolenmijnen onder de Limburgse stad Heerlen gebruikt wordt om gebouwen te verwarmen en te koelen.
Mijnwater BV gaf op zaterdag 28 juni 2014 een lezing over Mijnwater. Deze vorm van kwalitatieve duurzame energievoorziening past binnen de gedachte van een IBA Parkstad en is toe te passen in bestaande (en nieuwe) woningen, gebouwen, winkels en kantoren. Mijnwater energie draagt een belangrijke bijdrage aan de transformatie van Parkstad om te komen tot een energie neutrale regio in 2040. Bekijk hier de presentatie
