Ever-increasing energy consumption is one of the greatest challenges facing Europe and the world today. Most consumption is derived from fossil fuels - much of it imported from outside Europe, depleting natural resources and contributing to global climate change, through increased greenhouse gas emissions. When the EU signed the Kyoto Protocol, it promised to reduce these emissions by 2012, by 8% in comparison to 1990 levels. To meet this commitment, significant changes of behaviour are required now, both in terms of energy supply and demand management.
The OPET CHP Consortium aimed at promoting technical improvements and market development tools and thereby supports further use of efficient CHP/DH technologies within the EU policy framework.
The project Consortium consisted of thirty-two partners from twenty-two EU and Central and Eastern European countries and China. The coordinating partner was the Danish Technological Institute. The 14-month project included a large range of activities at national and international level as well as specific national partner actions.
The activities were organised in Work Packages addressing specific objectives:
