<strong>Final</strong> <strong>Conference</strong> of <strong>CHP</strong> <strong>Goes</strong> <strong>Green</strong><br />
CITIES AND BIO-ENERGY<br />
<strong>COGEN</strong>ERATION<br />
The <strong>CHP</strong> <strong>Goes</strong> <strong>Green</strong> project is an Intelligent Energy <strong>Europe</strong> (IEE) co-funded project that promotes the use of renewable<br />
energy sources (RES) in combination with cogeneration (also known as combined heat and power; <strong>CHP</strong>).<br />
The advantage of the use of bio-energy <strong>CHP</strong> is self-evident, as it allows highest efficiency combined with an increase<br />
of renewables’ share. The combination of RES and <strong>CHP</strong> is a key approach to reach the ambitious EU climate<br />
and energy goals. However, it is not yet widely spread and implemented.<br />
The <strong>CHP</strong> <strong>Goes</strong> <strong>Green</strong> project contributes towards achieving this goal through extensive information, experience<br />
sharing and capacity-building of local and regional stakeholders on bio-energy <strong>CHP</strong>. So far the project has produced<br />
the following results:<br />
• Analysis of the <strong>Europe</strong>an and regional legal and economic framework on bio-energy <strong>CHP</strong> and its impact on<br />
the regional markets in 8 good practice cities/regions<br />
• Development of action and implementation plans of good practice<br />
• Eight public campaigns addressing policy makers, building owners and other bio-energy stakeholders<br />
• Target-group specific promotion of best practices for RES-fuelled <strong>CHP</strong> approaching different groups of<br />
building owners, planners and installers<br />
• Initiating 24 new RES-<strong>CHP</strong> applications<br />
• Training of policymakers with regard to technical, ecological and economic issues<br />
• Transfer of generated good-practice to 16 further cities/regions<br />
The <strong>CHP</strong> <strong>Goes</strong> <strong>Green</strong> project will end in June 2013. To ensure a widespread dissemination of the project results<br />
among key stakeholders, a <strong>Final</strong> Dissemination Workshop will be held on Friday 19 April in the Crowne Plaza Hotel<br />
in Brussels. Please find the draft agenda and registration form in this <strong>Conference</strong> brochure.<br />
The main objective of this <strong>Final</strong> <strong>Conference</strong> is to present the final outcomes of the project and share the<br />
experience of the project partners on how to best promote the uptake of RES-<strong>CHP</strong> in cities and regions<br />
in <strong>Europe</strong>. The main target audiences are energy agencies, local and regional decision-makers, NGOs,<br />
universities, associations, planners, consultancies and ESCOs.<br />
The recommendations on the use of RES-fuelled <strong>CHP</strong> in cities and regions wil also be presented. In addition, the<br />
event will also look at bio-energy in a broader perspective (role of technology and agriculture) and hear the view<br />
of several best practice cities.<br />
Participation to the <strong>Final</strong> <strong>Conference</strong> is free of charge.<br />

Case Studies<br />
11.15<br />
Riga, Latvia: Līga Ozoliņa, Ekodoma<br />
Latvia’s share of <strong>CHP</strong> in total electricity consumption has been increasing at a very fast pace from<br />
20% in 2000 to 40% in 2010. Despite the large potential for renewable <strong>CHP</strong>, Latvia experienced a<br />
modest growth due to the high investment costs involved. The City of Riga is particularly ambitious<br />
about harnessing the existing potential for renewable <strong>CHP</strong>.<br />
11.30<br />
Berlin, Germany: Elisabeth Dubbers, Berlin Energy Agency<br />
In Germany biogas and solid biomass are increasingly used in <strong>CHP</strong> plants, as a result of the strong<br />
support that renewable energy sources receive. This upward trend is expected to continue following<br />
the entry into force of the 2012 amended German Renewable Energy Law (EEG). The City of Berlin<br />
has one of the most supportive approaches in <strong>Europe</strong> for <strong>CHP</strong>.<br />
11.45<br />
12.00<br />
Italy: Marco Baresi, Turboden<br />
Approximately 4% of the electricity generated in <strong>CHP</strong> mode is fuelled by biomass today, amounting<br />
to 4224 GWh. Biomass <strong>CHP</strong> is expected to thrive in Italy, as the RES feed-in-premium for biofuels is<br />
accompanied by a <strong>CHP</strong> bonus. One factor that will affect the growth of biomass <strong>CHP</strong> in Italy is that<br />
the Italian renewable energy Decree establishes sustainability criteria for biomass, biogas, bioliquids<br />
and waste treatment plants in order to control the quality and quantity of the raw materials used.<br />
