Description:
CODE is an EU wide independent assessment of the progress of the CHP Directive. The project partners and the COGEN Europe members will encourage the rapid and effective implementation of the Directive and independently review the Member States’ progress and the success of implementation. CODE will highlight and publicise clear best practise where it occurs and draw attention to areas of poor performance or practical difficulties in implementation. The project aims:
- To support the implementation of the Directive
- To enhance local/regional capacity for the successful development of cogeneration projects by developing clear case study data on successful cogeneration projects under the new Directive framework on a regional basis
- To raise awareness and provide information through a high profile European-wide information, know-how transfer among cogeneration associations, suppliers, local and regional energy agencies and other networks
- Accelerate the market penetration of cogeneration technologies through producing a European Cogeneration Roadmap, based on national potentials studies
- Showcasing good practice and potential growth in key market sectors
COGEN Europe will work with its consortium partners, operating in a regional structure, and its national member organisations to review and comment the Member States reports from the industry perspective on a regional basis. Four regional groups will be established where members organisations will co-operate in gathering and analysing the responses of the 27 governments to the Cogeneration Directive. A central database will be created with a summary of each Member State’s responses under the reporting action measures required under the Directive, along with the response itself. At the regional level case studies of best practise projects in the geography will be collected. Regional groups will report on the successful and struggling initiatives and the legislation and support schemes around the directive.
The main outputs will be:
- Country-specific info on the directive implementation containing a critical assessment of the progress made by each country towards its stated national potential goals.
- A set of regional focus groups experienced in the operation and implementation of the Directive in their region and able to assist manufacturers and potential end users in its application.
- A Handbook of Case Studies representative of the most successful policies and approaches by region.
- Analysis of barriers and success factors for promoting the development of cogeneration through the Directive
- Access for interested parties to a central database of information plus a network of local specialists
A high efficiency Cogeneration Roadmap for Europe to 2020
