COGEN Europe Briefing Day on
"CHP in the context of the proposed EU Emissions Trading Scheme"
Introduction:

The planned European Emissions Trading Scheme will be a cornerstone of the EU's strategy to combat global warming. Yet, a recent assessment of COGEN Europe has identified some serious problems for the future development of industrial and disctrict heating CHP which the Scheme may imply unless additional mechanisms are introduced. This event informed COGEN Europe Members of the latest developments and on how CHP could be fully and fairly incorporated into such a system. An introduction into the envisaged Emissions Trading Scheme and its potential consecuences for CHP during the morning was followed by presentations on concrete solutions and operator's viewpoints in the afternoon.
