organiser: Oesterreichs Energie (Association of Austrian Electricity Companies) - Sicco
Mansholt Room
CHP using different fuels represents the backbone of today’s efficient District Heating and
Cooling systems. In combination with diverse heat sources (e.g. biomass, solar thermal,
geothermal, waste to energy, waste heat from industries etc.) it ensures the secure and lowcarbon supply of heat for citizens all over Europe. Through the use of CHP Europe’s energy
security is increased and the emissions of CO2 and other air pollutants are substantially
reduced.
The flexibility of CHP installations is further increased by the development of integrated
storage systems. The event will provide best practice examples from Austria on efficient,
renewable and low-carbon heat supply. The current challenges and drivers for high-efficient
CHP and its role in the future energy system will be discussed and presented.

Web 10 - 19 February 2015
The main aim of the Conference is to generate debate amongst participants. Each workshop
will be introduced by a few expert speakers, whose presentations will focus on communicating
facts and issues rather than positions. The workshop will include sufficient time for debate.
14:30-17:30
Workshop 1
Heating and cooling: a vision for 2050
This workshop will set the scene and establish the facts on heating and cooling today versus
the EU's medium and long term energy and climate objectives. The workshop will therefore
present, firstly, the development of the different heating and cooling options under business as
usual, to be contrasted to what will be necessary for the heating sector to be sustainable by
2050. It will look, secondly, at the role of heating storage option in conjunction with variable
renewable energy sources, and possibly enabling higher deployment of variable renewable
electricity. Lastly, it will explore the best suited solutions for the various European
geographies and to thereby give ideas on how the Member States can make use of the
potentials that their heating and cooling sectors offer.

Workshop 2
Heating and cooling for industry
Energy represents between 2% to 16% of the total cost of input for production but can be as
high as high as 40% or more for energy intensive industries. A large proportion of this input
is needed in the form of high and medium temperature heating and cooling, as well as space
heating. Making industrial heating and cooling more efficient, low-carbon and renewable
presents a considerable challenge, yet it is a necessary part of the EU energy transition. The
session will examine heating and cooling needs, the available options and the challenges of
decarbonising and improving efficiency in heating and cooling. It will also take into account
the constraints that shape industry choices in the context of global markets.

Workshop 3
Boosting new finance for energy efficiency investments
Energy efficiency is a no-regret policy and the first fuel for the EU economy, yet substantial
public and private investments are needed in buildings, industry and commerce to deliver the
needed and economically beneficial reduction in Europe's EUR 400 bn annual import fuel
bill. The Energy Efficiency Financial Institutions Group Final (EEFIG) report results from 18
months of 120 participants studying this issue and contains key recommendations to policy
makers and market actors.
This session will feature the launch of the EEFIG Report, the inputs from leading Europe's
financial institutions and experts followed by a discussion panel. The session will specifically
focus on drivers of investment, providing insights from stakeholders, regulators and investors
while reflecting on the investment needs discussed in previous sessions and instruments to
address them in the various target sectors (buildings, industry/SMEs, district heating and
cooling).

Workshop 6
Building heat markets
In some EU countries markets for heating and cooling are underdeveloped or not developed
at all. Consumers lack information, advice and instruments to understand their options in
terms of prices, technologies and solutions best suited to their needs. Heat markets are the
most efficient in bringing customers together with providers of heat and cooling supply – they
are a platform for offering a wide range of cost-effective choices. National and local
authorities have a key role in creating the market framework and instruments, and ensuring
that these help in achieving their energy efficiency and decarbonisation goals in buildings,
cities and industries.
