Region of DDS, Province of East Flanders, Belgium

In the Province of East Flanders, Belgium, the current industrial ecosystem is fed mainly by fossil-derived power. A further electrification of their processes is expected, therefore the opportunities for renewables will increase within the region, such as more PV-installations, as well as a new fermentation plant has been erected.
