COGEN Europe’s key recommendations on the EU climate target for 2040
COGEN Europe, the European Association for the Promotion of Cogeneration, supports the European Commission’s initiative to develop a robust impact assessment on 2040 energy and climate targets, as part of a comprehensive and predictable legislative framework.
COGEN Europe’s recommendations for the proposed Net Zero Industry Act
COGEN Europe welcomes the European Commission’s proposal for a Regulation on establishing a framework of measures for strengthening Europe’s net-zero technology products manufacturing ecosystem (Net Zero Industry Act or NZIA). In this context, COGEN Europe calls for the Net Zero Industry Act to take a comprehensive and whole value chain approach to safeguard and grow European industrial leadership in net-zero technologies, supporting growth opportunities for all relevant energy efficient and renewable energy solutions across integrated energy systems.

Electricity Market Reform: COGEN Europe key recommendations
COGEN Europe supports a comprehensive and ambitious Electricity Market Reform (EMR), as part of resilient and efficient integrated energy systems, with the aim to achieve the lowest cost decarbonisation for highest level of security of supply and consumer protection.
COGEN Europe’s input to the revision of the Energy Taxation Directive
COGEN Europe supports the review of the Energy Taxation Directive (ETD) in the context of Fit for 55 and its alignment with the EU’s energy efficiency, climate and competitiveness priorities. To ensure that energy taxation can fulfill its crucial role in driving the development towards a carbon-neutral energy system in line with the EU’s climate ambitions, the revised ETD should incentivise the energy efficient consumption of lower carbon and increasingly renewable energy.
COGEN Europe’s position on the Energy and Environmental State Aid Guidelines (EEAG)
COGEN Europe welcomes the opportunity to provide feedback on the revision of the Guidelines on State aid for Environmental protection and Energy (EEAG) and the relevant provisions in General Block Exemption Regulation (GBER). The cogeneration sector is committed to creation of a resilient, decentralised and carbon neutral European energy system by 2050 with cogeneration (CHP) as its backbone.
