Gradyent was excited to attend the 30th District Heating Colloquium at the World Trade Centre in Dresden a few weeks ago. It was an inspiring anniversary event, full of stimulating discussions, new connections, and valuable ideas shaping the future of #DistrictHeating. Thank you to everyone who stopped by our booth! The lecture programme highlighted the rapid transformation underway in the industry, including: 🔹 Political impulses and legal updates shaping the heat transition 🔹 Innovative approaches to municipal heat planning and green district heating 🔹 Digital heating networks 🔹 Waste heat utilization 🔹 Power-to-heat solutions These discussions confirmed that district heating is evolving, and we’re right at the heart of it. With our growing team in the DACH region, including Matthew Buitendijk in Sales and Jennifer Hempel in Marketing, we’re ready to work alongside Volker Clauß and Alexander Schultz to support even more municipal utilities and energy suppliers in digitally transforming their district heating systems 🔥 #DigitalTwin #Sustainability #Decarbonization

Electrification isn’t plug-and-play. That was the key insight from Wim Janssen, Energy and Production Technologist at Smurfit Westrock, during our webinar on industrial steam decarbonization last year. Replacing a boiler is more than a technical upgrade, it requires a system-wide rethink, from steam generation and distribution to integration with broader energy strategies. As part of our ongoing commitment to support industrial energy users, Gradyent will continue this conversation in 2025 with a focus on Steam Source Intelligence and energy flexibility, helping industrial energy users uncover practical, high-impact strategies to improve efficiency and reduce emissions. 🔔 Stay informed: Our Steam Source Intelligence whitepaper series is coming soon! #SteamOptimization #IndustrialEnergyEfficiency #Electrification

Powering a smarter, low-carbon future in Böblingen! We’re partnering with Stadtwerke Böblingen to further optimize and future-proof their district heating system https://lnkd.in/e5r-9f2v Stadtwerke Böblingen shows how digitization and strategic planning can go hand in hand. With a network spanning around 60 km, the company supplied a total of 136 GWh to customers in 2024, 70% of which came from residual waste recycling, putting Böblingen on a strong path toward decarbonization. With Gradyent’s real-time Digital Twin Platform, Stadtwerke Böblingen can: 🔹 Dynamically optimize temperatures and enhance supply security 🔹 Gain insights into consumption behavior to minimize heat losses 🔹 Simulate current and future network configurations to derisk investments and support long-term transformation We’re proud to support Böblingen’s journey toward a resilient and future-ready district heating system, where digitalization and advanced modeling drive both operational efficiency and long-term planning 🚀 #DigitalTwin #Sustainability #Decarbonization Volker Clauß Emil Nagy Stadtwerke Böblingen GmbH & Co.
