The GeoWasteHeat project, led by CROST Nonprofit Ltd. with the participation of the Town of Sellye and the Lipik Thermal Bath (Toplice Lipik) in Croatia, was launched in March 2026 with the support of the Interreg VI-A Hungary-Croatia cross-border cooperation programme. The first partner meeting was held on 18 March 2026 in Sellye. The aim of the project is to reduce greenhouse gas emissions in Sellye and Lipik, by utilising the waste heat of the effluent thermal water from the spas of the partner towns. At the meeting, the participants visited the project sites in Sellye: the local thermal bath and a few public institutions connected to the future heating system. Then the partners reviewed the activities to be implemented. In the first phase of the project data will be collected and good practices will be identified for the entire border region. After that feasibility studies will be elaborated to examine the modernisation of the two heating systems. In the second year of the project, detailed technical documentations will be prepared for both facilities. The project will end in February 2028.
