Join Heat Roadmap Europe at this year's European Sustainable Energy Week (EUSEW) to foster the decarbonisation of the heating and cooling sector

• Policy Session - 7 June

On 7 June 2018, the Heat Roadmap Europe (HRE) project is hosting an interactive panel session on “Shaping an integrated market for hot findings and cool solutions at EUSEW 2018. The debate aims to introduce attendants to effective market tools, transferable practices and cutting-edge Heating and Cooling (H&C) solutions that are driving the decarbonisation of Europe's energy systems.

With the latest findings of the Heat Roadmap Europe (HRE) flagship research initiative building the framework, the expert panel will seek to encourage the rethinking of Europe’s H&C through holistic and next-generation solutions and to present technically and economically-feasible pathways to decarbonise H&C.

The panel is made up of high profile experts in the sector of district heating and cooling,  EU energy policy, European business associations as well as local government and energy planning experts:

• Paul Hodson, DG ENERGY, European Commission

• Brian Vad Mathiesen, Aalborg University

• Thomas Nowak, European Heat Pump Association

• Maciej Mijakowski, Warsaw University of Technology

• Carsten Rothballer, ICLEI Europe - Local Governments for Sustainability

• Philipp Geyer, KU Leuven

• Networking Stand - 5 June "Marketplace of Heating and Cooling Opportunities"

Interested participants are further warmly welcomed to already familiaries themselfes with HRE and its most important tool, the Pan-European Thermal Atlas - Peta4  prior to the session by visiting HRE at the ICLEI Europe "Marketplace of Heating and Cooling Opportunities" stand at the EUSEW networking village on 5 June.

Visitors of the HRE networking stand will be presented with the most comprehensive energy system analysis to date, and are invited to exploit HRE tools firsthand. HRE experts will provide on-the-spot training for attendants to perform their own analysis. Initial results will provide the basis for exploring together  the most fitting solutions for each visitor within key decarbonisation marketplaces: district H&C, decentralised renewable solutions and H&C savings
