EXTRAQT was awarded Promising SME of the Year 2026 by UNIZO Vlaams-Brabant & Brussel. The award was presented at the Feast of the Entrepreneur on 28 October.

Interreg NWE highlights the AquaCOM project in a new article, supporting energy communities across North-West Europe in rolling out aquathermal energy, with pilots in Vlieland, Rotselaar and Lorient.

EXTRAQT, commissioned by Hoogheemraadschap De Stichtse Rijnlanden (HDSR), developed an interactive aquathermal atlas mapping the actual, sustainably available heat potential from surface water (TEO) within HDSR's management area.

EXTRAQT, together with Provinsje Fryslân and Wetterwaarmte, has launched an interactive aquathermal energy atlas for Friesland. The tool shows, per water body and per neighbourhood, how much sustainable heat is available and realistically usable through aquathermal energy.

The Dijlemolens residential complex in Leuven now heats its building using aquathermal energy drawn from the river Dijle. It is the first installation of its kind in Belgium and serves as a flagship project for a climate-neutral Leuven.

The historic Kasteel de Merode in Westerlo switched from natural gas to a bivalent heating system incorporating aquathermal energy, realised by Eco-Technix in collaboration with EXTRAQT. The project won a Techlink Award and uses the castle's moat as its main heat source.
