Assessing the potential for combined heat and power in EU member states

This webinar is organised in the framework of the ProgRESsHEAT Project (Fostering the use of renewable energies for heating and cooling).

The EU Energy Efficiency Directive requires Member States to assess potentials for Combined Heat & Power applications and district heating solutions based on regional information. Most member states have submitted assessments to the Commission. The methods used and the level of detail, however, varies substantially from a country to another.

Presentations :

• Requirements from the Energy Efficiency Directive for heating and cooling planning – Jan Steinbach, Fraunhofer ISI
• Austria: GIS-based analysis to assess the potential for district heating and cooling – Andreas Müller, e-think
• Germany: Cost-benefit analysis of CHP in industrial applications – Felipe Toro, IREES
