Smart and decarbonized WWTPs: Aiguasol’s approach within the REGENERA Project

Albert gimenez — Tue, 22 Jul 2025 15:38:11 +0000

At AIGUASOL, we have extensive experience and expertise in modeling complex energy systems, designing advanced control systems, and valorizing resources such as biogas, waste heat, and solar energy. With this technical foundation, we support public and private stakeholders in the transformation of conventional WWTPs into strategic, efficient, and climate-aligned facilities.

REGENERA: Driving a Cleaner and Smarter Energy Transition

Albert gimenez — Tue, 22 Jul 2025 15:15:35 +0000

As part of the REGENERA project, led by AIGUASOL, we have translated these potentials into real-world cases, with a rigorous technical and economic approach. Specifically, we studied the production and use of green hydrogen from renewable energy generated at a WWTP (Wastewater Treatment Plant) and its applications within the same system.

Rethinking gas networks: biomethane, hydrogen, and the path to decarbonization

Albert gimenez — Tue, 22 Jul 2025 14:42:27 +0000

At Aiguasol, we investigated how existing networks can be reused and adapted to support the integration of renewable gases—such as biomethane and green hydrogen—and thereby contribute to a clean, efficient, and distributed energy system, within the framework of the REGENERA project.

Demand flexibility: towards smarter energy management

Albert gimenez — Thu, 24 Apr 2025 07:11:15 +0000

Energy communities play a crucial role in enabling collective participation, but market operations must be adapted and inclusive models incentivized to make this a reality. Including small actors in the system goes beyond equity — it's an opportunity to build a resilient, decentralized, and sustainable electric system.
