Description: Educogen created the first European Education Tool on energy-efficiency through the use of cogeneration, working towards fully trained personnel within the cogeneration field. Educogen has been launched within the framework of the SAVE II Programme of the EU.
Educogen brings together universities, training centres and cogeneration experts from Greece, The Netherlands, Belgium, Poland, Denmark, the UK and France to put together a full educational package including the use of micro-cogeneration units.
The Educogen Work Programme includes the following phases:
  • Phase 1: Inception, Kick Off
  • Phase 2: Analysis and creation of the tool (Identification of training needs from the energy industry and training opportunities from the education community / Creation of a framework for courses / Installation of micro CHP units in each university
  • Phase 3: Pilot implementation of the tool (Theoretical sessions on the concept of cogeneration and the installed unit / Practical experiments around the installed unit / Analysis of case studies
  • Phase 4: Evaluation of the tool (Evaluation work concluded by a workshop)
  • Phase 5: Dissemination and Continuity
