Changing the way Europe provides heat and electricity for a sustainable future COGEN EuropeDate: 27/03/2006 Event: HLG on EnergyPage: 7 What should be done? Rigorous implementation of existing measures, including CHP Directive Make all new investments in the power sector dependent on heat recovery Realise that without cogeneration the task of reducing CO2 is very much harder Integrate Government action/support on bridging the macro-economic gap Incentivise the utilities
