Zero fossil energy 2023

Passionate since the age of seven, thanks to the inspiration of his family holidays in Brittany, Édouard has always dreamt of the ocean. In the middle of his university studies, he took a year off to get his first taste of the ocean by crossing the Atlantic Ocean on a solo mini-transat. This enriching experience gave him the desire to repeat this decisive feat.

This great dreamer wants to win the "Global Solo Challenge", a round-the-world race that he will undertake in mid-September 2023. The WATTUNEED team has decided to participate in Edouard De Keyser's ecological project. His big dream is to travel the "Himalayas of the sea".

After working for a good part of his life, he decided to participate in a race using as little fossil fuel as possible on his sailboat. This Brussels native will set off for the "Three Great Capes" and Antarctica, a perilous journey into the unknown, facing winds and waves that have capsized many.

Of course, the more developed safety conditions of our time and the previous experiences of other sailors will help him to reach his goal. For five months, his mind and body will be put to the test. Alone, but with training, he has decided to take the risk.

Our participation

Wattuneed, as a company committed to the energy transition, has chosen to sponsor the Solarwind Brussels project for several reasons.

First of all, the Solarwind Brussels project is an innovative and ambitious project that aims to develop a smart energy platform based on solar and wind energy. This platform will make it possible to produce renewable electricity and store it to meet the energy needs of the city of Brussels in a sustainable manner. By supporting this project, Wattuneed is helping to promote renewable energy and encourage its development in our society.

Furthermore, Solarwind Brussels is a collaborative project involving several partners from the public and private sector. By supporting this project, Wattuneed participates in a collective approach to foster the energy transition in a collaborative way. This collaboration will allow the pooling of skills and resources of the different partners to achieve common goals.

Finally, Wattuneed shares the values of the Solarwind Brussels project, notably sustainability, innovation and environmental responsibility. By sponsoring this project, Wattuneed wishes to actively engage in the promotion of these values and contribute to building a more sustainable and environmentally friendly future.

In summary, Wattuneed's decision to sponsor the Solarwind Brussels project is part of a global approach to support the energy transition and the promotion of renewable energy. This initiative will also strengthen the collaboration between public and private actors to achieve common objectives in terms of sustainable development.
