The Conference brings the strongest advocates and the most influential thinkers in district heating and cogeneration to Brussels to highlight the significant role which efficient provision of heat and electricity must play in resolving Europe’s climate and energy challenges today. The one-day conference shall be focused on best practice, policy and strategy for action in Europe’s energy policy in the light of Copenhagen outcomes.
