Europe has the ambitious goal of becoming the first climate neutral continent by 2050. The Green Deal and the EU Climate Law are first concrete steps. The current economic challenges are also an opportunity to accelerate decarbonisation and to create a fairer society and a more competitive economy. In 2021, the conference - which attracts over 400 participants from over 50 countries each year - shows how we can make a green recovery happen in practice and how energy efficiency as an investment engine can contribute to this deep transformation.
All fees include conference documentation. All fees plus 10 % VAT.
First
Morning
session
Europe is aiming for a 55 % reduction of CO2 emissions by 2030 as a milestone on its way to climate neutrality by 2050. It is crucial that the investment decisions made in the next few years put us on the path of being "fit for 55" by the end of this decade. This session shows how we can make a green recovery happen in practice and how energy efficiency can contribute as an investment engine. We present the policies and financing solutions.
Second
Morning
session
The pandemic and resulting societal changes offer opportunities for new narratives for energy efficiency and the energy transition. This session presents how such narratives can be developed and how innovative policies make energy efficiency the new normal.
This conference is organised in the context of the H2020 "Energy Efficiency Watch 4" project: www.energy-efficiency-watch.org
First
Afternoon
session
As Europe moves towards becoming the first climate-neutral continent, industry is at the core of this transformation. A new paradigm is emerging from policy, finance and global supply chains: the industrial energy transition and independence from fossil fuels as a crucial factor for competitiveness. This session presents the new policy framework and key innovations for the industrial energy transition.
Second
Afternoon
session
When addressing the net-zero challenge in industry, the decarbonisation of industrial heat and cold is crucial. This session presents innovative technologies and solutions for energy efficiency and renewable energy in industrial processes from all over the world.
This session showcases best practice examples of how energy efficiency and renewable energy can be implemented in the daily reality of industrial companies and highlights key approaches.
