Webinar: „Cooling Down Europe’s Heating System“
Webinar Tuesday June 30th 2020 9:00AM-10:30AM
During the EU Sustainable Energy Week (EUSEW2020) Jutta will be skeaking at the Webinar “Cooling Down Europe’s Heating System”.
The session will address the challenge of decarbonising domestic heat production, still widely relying on fossil fuels, and discuss how ecodesign and energy labelling regulations can play an instrumental role in this transition. We will touch upon the very specific topic of heating appliances and technologies, as well the determinants and impact of purchasing decisions. We will also be linking to a broader perspective on the renovation wave, energy infrastructure, wide-scale electrification and the role of gas.
Speakers from the EU Parliament, DG ENER, Member State authorities as well as industry and a climate change think tank will share their views on the topic, and spark up a discussion with the audience.
