Dear Executive,<br />

Did you know that Belgium is home to numerous successful<br />

companies specializing in renewable energy?<br />

In <strong>the</strong> fields of biomass, wind & solar energy (both <strong>the</strong>rmal &<br />

photovoltaic) <strong>Belgian</strong> companies can boast proven track records.<br />

And did you know that <strong>the</strong>se companies have joined <strong>for</strong>ces to<br />

offer <strong>the</strong>ir services to customers abroad?<br />

Jan Declercq<br />

President of <strong>the</strong><br />

<strong>Renewable</strong> <strong>Energy</strong> Club<br />

In <strong>the</strong> <strong>Renewable</strong> <strong>Energy</strong> Club, both local and international<br />

companies active in renewable energy, in <strong>the</strong> broadest sense<br />

possible, have <strong>for</strong>med a unique network that paves <strong>the</strong> way <strong>for</strong><br />

<strong>the</strong> <strong>Belgian</strong> renewable energy sector on <strong>the</strong> international scene.<br />

The <strong>Renewable</strong> <strong>Energy</strong> Club was established by a cluster of leading<br />

WATERLEAU has developed many proprietary technologies <strong>for</strong> <strong>the</strong><br />

production of green energy from:<br />

WATER: More than 300 anaerobic waste water treatment plants produce<br />

green energy from industrial wastewater. WATERLEAU is <strong>the</strong> indisputable<br />

market leader in anaerobic waste water treatment in <strong>the</strong> beverage industry,<br />

with more than 100 references in this industry alone. Many more sustainable<br />

references in <strong>the</strong> bakery, sugar, dairy, agro- and potato processing industry.<br />

SLUDGE: Green energy from <strong>the</strong> methanization of sludge, by-product of<br />

waste water treatment, is providing up to 50% of <strong>the</strong> energy needs in large<br />

municipal waste water treatment plants in Marrakech and Fez (Morocco).<br />

Sludge drying in horizontal and vertical sludge dryers, designed and built<br />

by WATERLEAU, are turning wet sludge into dried pellets, used ei<strong>the</strong>r as<br />

fertilizer or as fuel, in Poznan (Poland), Makkah (2x) and Madinah (2x) (Saudi<br />

Arabia), or at Danis and Valmass (Belgium). Oily sludge from <strong>the</strong> oil industry,<br />

discharged into vast lagoons during many years is being treated in a fluidized<br />

bed incinerator in Romania generating energy and decontaminating <strong>the</strong> soil.<br />

BIOMASS: <strong>Energy</strong> crops, shredded wood, manure, kitchen-, gardenwaste<br />

and o<strong>the</strong>r organic waste is turned into green energy in state-of-<strong>the</strong>-art installations<br />

in West-Vleteren, and Ieper in Belgium. O<strong>the</strong>r projects are due to start<br />

being constructed in o<strong>the</strong>r parts of Europe.<br />

MUNICIPAL SOLID WASTE: WATERLEAU has built a municipal solid waste<br />

incineration plant in Shanghai producing 18 MWe. O<strong>the</strong>r plants with identical<br />

energy output are under construction in Benzhou, Jixi and Haian (China).<br />

INDUSTRIAL SOLID WASTE: WATERLEAU has built a new incinerator in <strong>the</strong><br />

Antwerp harbour, turning up to 30.000 tons of medical waste (total Benelux<br />

capacity) into green energy. The same plant turns hazardous and industrial<br />

waste into renewable energy.<br />
