COGEN Europe will organise – together with the Berlin Energy Agency – a seminar on Thursday 25 March on the possibilities of promoting cogeneration in cities. The title is “Promoting innovative cogeneration in cities” and the seminar will be an official event within the annual EU Sustainable Energy Week (EUSEW). The seminar will show best practice examples of cogeneration in urban areas and ways to promote these successful approaches among other cities in Europe. The agenda can be found here. One outstanding example is the city of Berlin. Its campaign “KWK Modellstadt Berlin” (CHP Pilot City Berlin) shows on several levels how to promote cogeneration in an urban environment and how to combine cogeneration with other innovative technologies and with renewable energy sources. Beyond Berlin, the experience of several other pilot cities and regions will be presented during the seminar. The seminar aims to disseminate the best practice experience, to identify critical factors for success for cities that decide to go along the same path and to come up with recommendations.

COGEN Europe, the European association for the promotion of cogeneration, and Berliner Energieagentur offer a seminar with best practice examples of cogeneration in urban areas and ways to promote these successful approaches among other cities in Europe.

One outstanding example is the city of Berlin. Its campaign "KWK Modellstadt Berlin" (CHP Pilot City Berlin) shows on several levels how to promote cogeneration in an urban environment and how to combine cogeneration with other innovative technologies and with renewable energy sources. Beyond Berlin, the experience of several other pilot cities and regions will be presented during the seminar.

The two organisers will ensure that the seminar

- disseminates best practice experience
- identifies critical factors for success for interested cities
- comes up with recommendations.
