NWE Making an Impact Thematic Workshop Innovating in Waste Water Treatment NWE Making an Impact Thematic Workshop Innovating in waste water treatment Nicole Skirde (Contact Point Luxembourg) Matt Thompson (Joint Secretariat) Elisabeth Wauschkuhn (Contact Point Germany) Introduction • Introduction to the session • Call for capitalisation • Achieving and sustaining results • Roundtable discussion and feedback Main Objectives • Objective is to let participants network, discuss call for cap ideas, but also to get input for the future programming period • Making sure projects have an impact beyond their closure • Presenting the call for capitalisation • Offering networking opportunities and creating synergies between projects • Identify opportunities for the future programming period Call for capitalisation Conditions • The current call for proposals is open until 10 January 2020 to projects approved in calls 1 to 4. • A second call for capitalisation will be organised at the end of 2020 for projects approved in calls 5 to 9, as well as the targeted call on renewable energy. • Duration (maximum for both calls): until 31 December 2023 Call for capitalisation Rationale • Capitalisation initiatives should : - Stem form well performing projects with solid results to showcase - Build on existing project results that have strong potential for further uptake, roll-out and dissemination - Go beyond what the project initially aimed for (creating synergies, supporting unforeseen benefits, rolling-out results to new areas, stakeholders, sectors….) - Contribute to reducing territorial disparities by rolling- out or supporting further uptake of results Call for capitalisation Type of initiatives expected Project results can be developed in new geographical areas within NWE e.g. a project has successfully implemented energy retrofitting solutions in the private housing sector in Germany, the Netherlands and France and will now propose to replicate it to other NWE countries, specifically targeting less developed regions or deprived urban areas. e.g. a project has successfully implemented urban energy transformation measures and would now like to apply the method in small towns or rural areas in NWE considering their specific needs. Call for capitalisation Type of initiatives expected Project results can be developed in new economic sector e.g. a project has developed a coating technology for the space industry which can be used in a new design for the drone sector as well. e.g. a project focusing on the use of algae for energy also identified unforeseen market opportunities for algae in pharma, food, feed, cosmetics and more. The capitalisation initiative will now be delivering on some of these opportunities. Call for capitalisation Type of initiatives expected Project results can be developed towards new type of target group/ type of stakeholders e.g. a project has successfully implemented a social innovation process to enhance access to employment for NEETS and will propose to address a new target audience which has a specific relevance on the NWE territory. e.g. a project has successfully implemented energy retrofitting solutions in the private housing sector and would now propose to extend it to the social housing sector. Call for capitalisation Assessment criteria 7 assessment criteria : • Eligibility • Context • Objective • Territorial relevance • Partnership and cooperation • Value for money • Results Call for capitalisation Budget • 4.5M ERDF ring fenced for each call. • The maximum ERDF grant rate for partners is 60% of the total capitalisation project budget. • Existing partners will keep the same grant rate as in the initial approved application. Call for capitalisation – Partnership • Existing project partnerships can be adapted or modified • Not all partners need to be on board, new partners can join • LP should remain the same, but WP leader can be another organisation • More info in ToR and in addendum Call for capitalisation – Application and assessment process • Submission by email – please read the PM addendum for details. • For approved AFs, the capitalisation initiative is added in the eMS to the initial project as a new work package Call for capitalisation 6 key points for applicants • Follow the guidance in the ToR – everything is there! • Build on a successful project result and focus your cap. initiative on how to roll it out / support its uptake. • Keep in mind the territorial aspect : what territories to involve and why? How does it contribute to reducing disparities? • Be sure to have the right partners on board, and that all partners have an active and useful role. • Do not duplicate project LTEs • Get in contact with CPs! Call for capitalisation – Timeline 10 Jan. 2020 (12:00 noon): closure of call 1 followed by JS assessment. 12 Feb 2020: Decision at MC18 End of 2020: Call 2 opening Achieving and sustaining results Project examples • Phos4You • Water Test Network • WOW!

  • GREEN CITY Innovationcity BACKGROUND
    Blue sky GREEN CITY InnovationCity BACKGROUND Since 2010 InnovationCity Ruhr | Model City Bottrop has been developing innovative ideas and solutions as to how the challenges of climate and structure change can be faced in an urban space. Beyond the mere concept, the “Bottrop laboratory” demon- strates how these solutions can be realised as well. THE IDEA are promoted. Potential consequences of the climate change shall be countered by greening the town space The idea for the InnovationCity Ruhr project was and the optimisation of the water balance. developed by the Initiativkreis Ruhr, an affi liation of about 70 leading companies in the Ruhr area. A MORE THAN 200 INDIVIDUAL PROJECTS complete quarter of the town with a population of about 70,000 will turn into a model quarter for energy After the town of Bottrop had won a region-wide com- effi ciency by 2020. The aim: A climate-adapted urban petition of InnovationCity Ruhr in 2010, more than 200 reconstruction whilst safeguarding the industrial projects could be initiated within a very short period of location. The concrete aim is to cut the CO2 emissions time already. Another 170 projects are being planned by half and to increase the quality of life. in addition.

    TECHNIK Pumpwerke Schrittmacher der Wasserwirtschaft Titelbild: Maschinenhalle Pumpwerk Alte Emscher Foto: Tim Foltin Pumpwerk Bottrop-Boye Foto: Klaus Baumers 2 Pumpwerke – Schrittmacher der Wasserwirtschaft Liebe Leserinnen und Leser, scheinbar mühelos fließt das Wasser durch Emscher, Lippe und ihre Nebenläufe. Doch selbstverständlich ist diese Tatsache nicht, denn in den vom Bergbau geprägten Einzugs- bereichen müssen wir den Abfluss der Gewässer täglich aufwändig und technisch an- spruchsvoll organisieren. In den Poldergebieten der Emscher- und der südlichen Lipperegion arbeiten Entwässe- rungspumpwerke flächendeckend Tag und Nacht. Auch der Abfluss des Abwasserkanals Emscher (AKE) wird in Zukunft rund um die Uhr mit Hilfe von drei Großpumpwerken unter- stützt: Sie gleichen das Tiefenniveau aus, das der AKE durch sein Gefälle zwischen Dort- mund und Dinslaken unterirdisch erreichen würde. Seit unserer Gründung zählen der Hochwasserschutz, die Regelung des Wasserabflusses und die Abwasserableitung zu unseren Kernaufgaben. Mit dem Betrieb von insgesamt 276 Pumpwerken an Emscher und Lippe tragen wir entscheidend zur Lebensqualität in der Re- gion bei. Unsere Anlagen wurden im Laufe der Jahrzehnte stetig modernisiert, erweitert und an aktuelle Anforderungen angepasst. Mit dieser Broschüre möchten wir Ihnen die große Bedeutung unserer leistungsfähigen „Wasserschrittmacher“ näher bringen. Viel Spaß bei der Lektüre wünschen Ihnen Ihre EMSCHERGENOSSENSCHAFT und Ihr LIPPEVERBAND 3 Träge Flüsschen werden Abwassersümpfe Kurvenreiche Gewässer in landwirtschaftlicher Idylle Ursprünglich flossen Emscher und Lippe in zahlreichen Schleifen durch eine von Landwirt- schaft geprägte Region. Aufgrund ihrer geringen Fließgeschwindigkeit führten die Flüsse bei starken Regenfällen regelmäßig Hochwasser und überfluteten das flache Umland. Da- bei entstand eine lebendige Auenlandschaft mit Wäldern, Röhrichten, Hochstaudenfluren, sumpfigen und grasigen Bereichen. Wenn die Niederschläge nachließen, regulierten sich die Pegel jedoch bald wieder.

  • Waste Water Treatment
    Section 09: Wastewater management 9 A. Current situation In the Ruhr Area, special legislation provides for water management associations, which are substantially focussed on wastewater treatment. Municipalities and the industry are legally instituted members. The Emschergenossenschaft is responsible in the north of Essen, and the Ruhrverband in the south (Figure 9.1). According to the regulations under water legislation, the City of Essen is obliged to collect, transport and dispose of wastewater.
