Changing the way Europe provides heat and electricity for a sustainable future

Cogeneration in EU policy• Important part of the Energy Efficiency agenda

– Cogeneration Directive exists to promote cogeneration specifically (CODE)

– Micro-chp current • Cogeneration Directive, Buildings Directive, ETS,Renewables Directive/ Energy and Climate package

( indirectly), Energy Efficiency Action Plans (various), SET plan, Liberalisation of the Energy Market (EEW, ELEP, Buildings Dir, ETS, )

– Emerging• Ecoproducts Design, Green Public Procurement, Fiscal

changes

Representation: do you need it?• To represent the industries’ needs to the policy makers

and politicians at the appropriate time and to drive change.

• To influence the European process and link to the national process in member states to follow through

• To use existing policy flow to generate advantage• To keep industry aware of emerging changesBUT• Requires industry investmentOBSERVATION

– Stick together wherever possible…the sector has other enemies– There is always more to do : choose the right focus – Timescales are long….so pace is important – There is enough legislation ….we need implementation– Build strong alliances….the competition is tough

Micro chp industry• Take advantage of the positive climate for cogeneration as a

whole created by the Directive 2004/08/EC• Push the energy efficiency/ security of supply agenda• Take advantage of the Eco Product design: start now• Come to a voluntary standard for performance

measurement for micro-chp but don’t set the limit until there is some history… (Gas Industry Micro CHP workshop?)

• Co-operate on common design issues and compete on development, product and marketing.

• Get governments help through energy efficiency policy to create the market
