On the road to becoming the world’s first climate-neutral continent by 2050, heat-pump technologies are the number one heating and cooling solution, being a core enabler for a renewable, sustainable and smart energy system. The online workshop has two purposes, that are reflected in its structure. The first, is to walk the audience through the...

The first edition of the Horizon Europe Info Days is taking place online on June 28th until July 9th. This 10-day fully-virtual event covering 9 themes will present the new funding opportunities with exclusive discussions and hands-on sessions on the EU’s biggest research and innovation programme. The European Climate, Infrastructure and Environment Executive Agency (CINEA)...

Optimizing the Operations and Diagnosis of PV Plants to increase PV systems’ efficiency and competitiveness but also guarantee the lowest possible operational costs is key to EU’s energy transition. Are you working within this field and looking to make new connections and find partners to work with on future projects under international and/or national funding schemes? Then...

An effective, efficient and supportive State Aid regime is essential to accelerating the energy transition and the fight against climate change. To be effective, the revised Energy and Environmental State Aid framework must eliminate barriers to investment in critical renewable energy solutions, remove direct and indirect subsidies for fossil fuels and reduce the risk of...

With the Green Deal, Europe embarks on the journey to become the first climate-neutral continent. More than ever, photovoltaics (PV) offer great opportunities to accomplish this goal but their full potential of today remains untapped. The time has come for a Photovoltaics Renaissance: Europe is world leading in PV R&D, the cost of solar electricity...

Lessons learned and the Swedish experience! Europe aims for 100 percent renewable heating and cooling. Sweden is almost already there. Only fossil fuels in waste and minor volumes of peak oil remain to replace. But even for these peak load boilers  there are often investment plans in place  to switch fuels. How did we manage to become fossil free in the cold Nordic Scandinavia?...

On 8 March 2021 at 9.30am-11.30am, DERlab Working Group 4 “Strengthening the integration of laboratories & researcher exchange”, the ERIGrid 2.0 project and the PANTERA project are organising a joint webinar “Remote Testing & EIRIE Platform”. The ERIGrid 2.0 project provides engineers in power system testing, smart grids and energy systems free funding to access...

Energy is vital to the functioning of our societies. We need solutions that make it possible to combine sound economic growth with little environmental impact and customer convenience. District Energy is the key to sustainability. Its infrastructure enables significant carbon footprint reductions by allowing cities to harvest the potential of renewable energies and surplus heat...

The Euroheat & Power Congress focuses on topics related to District Energy. The congress provides a unique forum for discussing and enhancing knowledge on major issues of importance for European and Global District Energy sectors. It provides a unique platform for high-quality exchange on implementation challenges and best practices; including both technical and business approaches....

The carbon tax is a simple and effective tool for decarbonisation. Higher share of renewables often goes hand in hand with carbon taxation. Such is the case in Nordic countries for more than a couple of decades. Germany looks towards newly introduced carbon tax to fix the lower share of renewables in the heating and...

CryoHub the EU funded project to demonstrate the potential for cryogenic energy storage at refrigerated warehouses will hold a webinar to share findings and results of this work.

The World Sustainable Energy Days 2021 move to the summer and will be held from 21-25 June!

The PV Impact project invites you to participate in our next matchmaking event dedicated to Building Integrated PV (BIPV). This event will give you an exclusive opportunity to meet other experts and stakeholders, interact, exchange innovative project ideas and find the best partners to work with in the field of BIPV. BIPV has a huge...

According to recent estimates, the construction sector accounts for 40% of the energy consumption and 36% of greenhouse gas emissions in Europe. Decarbonising the building stock has therefore become one of the strategic priorities of the European Union and is among the main pillars of the European Green Deal. The HEART (Holistic Energy and Architectural...

  The 38th edition of the European PV Solar Energy Conference and Exhibition is planned to take place from 6 – 10 September 2021 at the Lisbon Congress Center in Lisbon, Portugal. Although this year’s online conference was a great success, with more than 850 live presentations and around 1500 participants from 65 countries, we...

Renewable energy technologies for heating and cooling are safe, clean, efficient and increasingly cost-competitive. In its vision 2050 prospective document, the European Technology and Innovation Platform on Renewable Heating and Cooling – RHC ETIP – envisions that 100% renewable energy-based heating and cooling (100% RHC) in Europe is possible by 2050. In the framework of Sustainable Places 2020, 16...

“Hydrogen can be used as a feedstock, a fuel or an energy carrier and storage, and has many possible applications across industry, transport, power and buildings sectors. Most importantly, it does not emit CO2 and does not pollute the air when used. It is therefore an important part of the solution to meet the 2050...

HYDROPOWER EUROPE (HPE) is a Horizon 2020 project that aims to achieve a Research & Innovation Agenda (RIA) and Strategic Industry Roadmap (SIR)for the  hydropower sector. For the last two years, the team worked on a continuous consultation process through online consultations as well as regional and technical workshops. As a result, they have gathered feedback from diverse stakeholders, including expert groups, industry actor sand other interested parties.

Universally recognised as emblems of many cities, historic buildings account for a quarter of Europe’s existing construction.

On 30 September 2020, the SMARTSPEND project will hold its Online Workshop “Financing Clean Energy Transition in the Context of EU Recovery”.

The 2020 edition of the 100% Renewable Heating and Cooling for a Sustainable Future, 100% RHC Event, will take place online on the 15th October 2020, from 2 pm to 4.30 pm (CET). Our annual conference is an independent event. Free registration is open until 30 September 2020 via this form.
