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 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.
The cogeneration sector is committed to the creation of a resilient, decentralised and carbon neutral European energy system by 2050 with cogeneration as its backbone. This approach will accelerate emission reductions by 2030, while empowering European citizens and industry to generate their own efficient, reliable and affordable clean heat and power locally.
In response to the Action Plan on the Digitalisation of the Energy Sector roadmap, COGEN Europe supports the promotion of digitalisation in the energy system as an integral part of energy system integration, consumer empowerment, lower energy costs on the path to net zero emissions by 2050.
Becoming the first climate neutral continent will require multiple climate-friendly solutions to ensure a cost-effective energy transition, citizens’ engagement and economic competitiveness. The cogeneration sector is committed to contribute to achieving climate neutrality by 2050. With cogeneration as its backbone, Europe can build a resilient, distributed and carbon-neutral European energy system providing efficient and affordable heat and electricity where and when Europeans need it.
