COGEN Europe and Euroheat&Power teamed up and organised a Joint Annual Conference on 2 June 2010 at the Conrad Hotel in Brussels. COGEN Europe and Euroheat & Power brought the strongest advocates and the most influential thinkers to Brussels to highlight the significant role which energy efficiency and cogeneration must play in resolving the climate and energy challenges which we face today.

COGEN Europe organised – together with the Berlin Energy Agency – a seminar on Thursday 25 March on the possibilities of promoting cogeneration in cities. The title is “Promoting innovative cogeneration in cities” and the seminar has been an official event within the annual EU Sustainable Energy Week (EUSEW). The seminar has shown best practice examples of cogeneration in urban areas and ways to promote these successful approaches among other cities in Europe. Find the agenda and press releases (8th March) and (24th March) here.
One outstanding example is the city of Berlin. Its campaign “KWK Modellstadt Berlin” (CHP Pilot City Berlin) shows on several levels how to promote cogeneration in an urban environment and how to combine cogeneration with other innovative technologies and with renewable energy sources. Beyond Berlin, the experience of several other pilot cities and regions have been presented during the seminar.
The seminar aimed to disseminate the best practice experience, to identify critical factors for success for cities that decide to go along the same path and to come up with recommendations. Please find the seminar presentation here:
The seminar report will be soon available on this webpage.
