Bothnia Green Energy Pilots
Pilot 1: Excess Heat
Excess heat is an untapped energy source found in many areas of our society. A transition towards a hydrogen economy entails even more excess heat. How can we make the best out of this resource? Utilizing excess heat better make us more energy efficient and is one of several solutions necessary to reach our energy and climate goals. Many solutions to utilize excess heat exist, and new innovative solutions are coming. In this pilot we want to contribute to implement different solutions by helping matching companies having excess heat with companies having the right technology solution.
The Bothnia Green Energy project is organising a series of webinars about excess heat. Below you can find the links to the recordings of the webinars:

Pilot 2: Power to Talent
Power to Talent is a collaboration program in HR for the energy sector in the Kvarken region. Its purpose is to help the energy companies collaborate, share knowledge, and get inspiration from each other. Together with HR in six energy companies, we carry out activities, which can contribute to attracting and retaining skilled professionals in the energy sector.
Pilot 3: DC-networks
Nowadays, both production and consumption of electricity are increasingly based on direct current, which is then converted to alternating current only for transmission, and then rectified again to direct current before the point of consumption. In our pilot, we are investigating on what scale there could be opportunities to omit the alternating current phase in order to transfer the energy as only direct current between the production unit and the consumption.
