Summary
A total of 11,7 million square meters of collector area were installed in Europe at the end of 2000. In this context, it is remarkable that of this collector area 62% were installed in just three countries; Germany, Greece and Austria. If one relates the collector area to the area installed per thousand inhabitants in the year 2000, with 18.9 m2, Austria takes the lead over Greece and Germany.
This case study was part of the results of "Increasingly promotion and market penetration of EU energy-efficient measures in China" work package of OPET CHP/DH project. Partners were six oganizations in the OPET network: EPU-NTUA (Greece), ZERI (China), EREC, CSFTA, ISNOVA (Italy) and ENEA (Italy).
