This Free Roundtable Event of high level EU Emission Trading Scheme (EU-ETS) stakeholders takes place in Brussels on 12 October 2010 to help develop recommendations to the European Commission on the future strategy for the Emissions Trading Scheme in Europe.

The Roundtable consists of two sessions; the first, in the morning will discuss Industry support, while the second, in the afternoon, will discuss Access to project based carbon credits.

The Roundtable provides an excellent opportunity for organisations representing key industries to share their ETS experience and requirements. By joining us you can help shape the scope and direction of the scheme, and enable industries across Europe to engage more productively in carbon trading while remaining competitive in global markets.

Further information and registration

Between 11 and 15 April 2011 hundreds of events organised in all parts of Europe will show, promote, discuss and celebrate energy efficiency and renewable energy - and you can be a part of it.

Next year's EUSEW will put the spotlight on energy efficiency - your initiatives and contributions are needed to put it on the right track.

As well as this particular emphasis on energy efficiency next year, the EUSEW will continue to be dedicated to renewable energy, just like in previous years.

The European Institutions, associates of the Sustainable Energy Europe Campaign, and other important players in the field will organise a series of events in Brussels during the EUSEW.

These will include a 3-day policy conference organised by the European Commission from 12-14 April 2011.

The global society is faced with a huge challenge in order to meet the threat given by global warming. The project SETatWork - Sustainable Energy Technologies at Work aims to meet this challenge through the collaboration and partnerships between organisations in EU, Asia and South America, supported by the EU’s Seventh Framework Programme (FP7).

In this context, an EU ETS match-making event was organized as a side event during the 18th European Biomass Conference with the following objectives:

• to promote the implementation of innovative and sustainable technologies in companies that participate in EU Emissions Trading System
• to match stakeholders involved in energy efficiency and savings in European industry sectors for realization of energy efficiency and saving projects

In the final part of the workshop, a "networking cocktail" was organized where participants had the opportunity to share experiences and discuss "face-to-face" regarding new business opportunities.

A central and unified platform for Power, Oil, Gas, Coal, and Emissions Trading in the regions of Central and South Eastern Europe is currently being established. It is essential that all market participants acknowledge this and conform to this change. This opportunity to enter into these emerging markets and gain influence with local and developing companies will be very important to those eyeing opportunities in new areas.

Current fragmentation in the power market should be addressed as integration will help in generating transparent and efficient markets. But, with many complexities in the market including a problem with multiple borders and monopoly shareholders in these regions, the CEE and SEE is also in need of regeneration. Priorities which need addressing include congestion management, generating market transparency, understanding how to get around entry barriers, and finding regulatory competency.

Now in its 7th year in the Energy market, EastEuro Link will once again provide a platform to discuss issues and create new networking opportunities. As the market opens, it is important to be flexible and know how to adapt to this potential. The CEE Energy Trading 2010 event should help you equip yourself with essential knowledge and contacts in growing industries.

Further Information

Heating and cooling are both major factors influencing energy consumption in companies. In order to prove the energy saving potential of innovative heating, ventilation and air-conditioning systems and to offer a marketing platform for technology providers, KEWOG Städtebau GmbH and Chamber of Commerce, Munich, joined forces to organise a matchmaking event with focus on HVAC technologies.

The SETatWork matchmaking event was attended by around 90 participants that could benefit from presentations that portrayed the energy saving potential of intelligent technology like solar cooling, fuel switch or re-cooling of chillers. Seventeen innovative technology providers presented their products and services and were available for personal talks with the companies interested in energy saving heating, ventilation and air-conditioning processes.

At the end of February 2010, a SETatWork training workshop, organised by KEWOG Städtebau GmbH in cooperation with KfW Bankengruppe, took place in Frankfurt. The workshop aimed at informing ETS companies about EU energy policies and latest developments in the carbon market on the one hand and at showing best practice of energy saving energy management systems and technologies on the other hand.

In the morning session, the Copenhagen Accord as well as the amended EU Emissions Trading Directive were analysed and discussed. In the afternoon session experts gave insights into innovative energy processes and technologies like heat recovery, combined heat and power, energy management systems and reduction potential of compressed air leakages.

The workshop was well attended by around 50 participants and provided the ETS industry a platform to learn and discuss about carbon markets as well as about innovative energy efficient technologies in industrial processes.
