The conference will be held on the 2nd June 2010 at the Conrad Hotel in Brussels.
Why have we decided to team up?
The new Parliament and Commission face many challenges in energy policy and climate change abatement and Euroheat&Power and COGEN Europe will seize the opportunity in 2010 to emphasize the proven capability and still untapped potential for cogeneration and district heating in the more efficient use of energy in Europe. 2010 will be the first time that the sectors representing cogeneration and district heating will have used their most visible annual events to send a united message to the Commission and Parliament.
We shall bring 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.
The Joint Euroheat&Power and COGEN Europe Annual Conference will take place on Wednesday 2 June in Brussels. A preliminary programme will appear later on conference website. The possibility to register online will be possible later.

COGEN Europe will organise – 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 will be an official event within the annual EU Sustainable Energy Week (EUSEW). The seminar will show best practice examples of cogeneration in urban areas and ways to promote these successful approaches among other cities in Europe. The agenda can be found 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 will be presented during the seminar.
The seminar aims 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. More information on the event can be found here.
To attend the seminar you need to first register yourself as an attendee for the EUSEW 2010. Once your account is created, you will then be able to select the COGEN Europe/BEA seminar. Online registration closes on 16 March.
