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

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