Newsletter November – Thank you
Thank you for taking the time to read this newsletter at a time when the news hits us with wars, fear and despair, with only an occasional glimmer of light. The climate crisis is also far from over, but the movement dedicated to tackling this challenge is growing. Its voice is getting louder, its voice is being heard. Energiesprong feels part of this global movement. We know that we can’t solve such a big problem all at once, we have to take small steps. With our everlasting efforts we are taking these small steps, with heart and soul.

Exciting projects: Global Alliance
With the Global Alliance focusing on more than energy transition alone, we are thrilled to introduce you to some of our new projects.
We’ve got our teeth into the new Interreg NWE project ‘Circular Reno’, where we’ll develop biobased & recycled / reused material solutions for retrofits. The focus will be on delivering 4 scalable biobased deep energy retrofit packages for both social and individual housing on 4 sites (in total 88 homes), using a range of biobased solutions, experimenting with the different biobased materials (straw, wood, etc.) that grow in various countries.
