Financial and Regulatory Support for Cogeneration in EU (2007)
The development of cogeneration has been very uneven over the years and has been dominated throughout the last decades by national circumstances. For any market actor keen to develop its activities beyond its national borders, this 47-page report will provide a concise, up-to-date overview of the type of support an installation is likely to receive in each European Union Member State." This report is free of charge to all COGEN Europe members and is available to to non-members for 299 Euros.

Cogeneration in CEEC (2007)
This COGEN Europe study gives an overview of cogeneration markets in Central and Eastern Europe: the Czech Republic, Hungary, Poland, Slovenia, Slovakia, Bulgaria, Romania, Lithuania, Latvia, Estonia and Croatia.

The objective of the study is to give a clear and concise snapshot of the market situation for cogeneration in these countries, covering the important non-technical issues in the cogeneration business. Therefore for each country the statistics for existing cogeneration is presented, followed by financial and regulatory support, market activities and potential for cogeneration. The chapters covering the Czech Republic, Hungary in Poland are on average long 6 pages, while the chapters covering the other countries are long 2 to 3 pages. The whole report is long 49 pages.and is free of charge to all COGEN Europe members and is available to to non-members for 299 Euros.
