Renewable EnergyPublished on 23-01-2006

The promotion of renewable energy belongs to the key objectives of European energy policy. The European Institutions should put a special emphasis on the uptake of biomass, which is the renewables sector with the highest growth potential. Cogeneration units today operate with a wide range of fuels, including biogas, forestry residues, wood pellets and bio-diesel. COGEN Europe recommends that any further initiative for the promotion of biomass includes special incentives for the use of cogeneration.
