Proposed Session Description
Wastewater Energy Transfer (WET) technology is a transformative solution for enhancing climate resilience. WET leverages existing sanitary infrastructure to provide heating, cooling, and domestic hot water production. It improves the performance of thermal energy networks and geothermal applications, thereby supporting electrification, decarbonization, and grid modernization goals, all contributing to more climate-resilient communities.
Learning Objectives
Grasp the principles and applications of Wastewater Energy Transfer (WET) technology, including its capacity to deliver heating, cooling, and facilitate domestic hot water production through existing sanitary infrastructure
Evaluate the practical advantages of WET technology in terms of energy resilience, particularly in scenarios involving grid outages, and acknowledge its potential as a sustainable energy solution.
Explore how WET technology aligns with the increasing trends of thermal energy networks and geothermal applications, especially in the context of Massachusetts and similar regions.

Full Description
This session is of utmost importance as it tackles critical queries and issues related to energy resilience and sustainability in the face of climate change. It addresses the urgent matter of ensuring continuous access to essential heating, cooling, and enabling domestic hot water production, especially in situations involving grid disruptions.
At this moment in time, with the increasing frequency of extreme weather events and the pressing need to reduce carbon emissions, the resilience of our energy systems is paramount. The session focuses on an inventive approach, where Wastewater Energy Transfer (WET) technology leverages existing sanitary infrastructure to provide thermal energy solutions.
This session directly aligns with the conference theme of "Climate Resilience" by presenting a tangible solution that not only enhances energy efficiency but also bolsters climate resilience. It addresses the need to adapt and thrive in an era of climate uncertainty. By harnessing the sustainable potential of WET technology, we can strengthen our communities and infrastructure against the challenges posed by climate change.
