14:45 | Session 1: Energy future - Hot debate and powerful ideas |
We are in the midst of profound transformation of the energy system, as EU and national efforts are geared towards ensuring that Europe has secure, affordable and climate-friendly energy. It is clear today that business as usual is not a choice, if Europe wants to take the lead in realising the Paris Agreement objectives. Unidimensional and siloed solutions may get us to the destination, but will fall short of delivering affordable and secure energy to Europe’s citizens and industry. Only an integrated approach to the energy system and a mix of energy efficiency and renewable energy promises to provide the right balance between ambition, cost and security of supply. Bringing together thought leaders from policy, industry and academia, Session 1 will piece together the big picture energy future, shedding light on sectoral integration of heat, electricity and gas infrastructures and markets.

EU policy has a leading role to play in making the energy transition an economic success for Europe. We need to meet the targets of the Paris Agreement, while boosting economic growth, creating jobs and keeping an eye on the budget. With negotiations on the Clean Energy Package being conducted under the Bulgarian Presidency of the EU, this session will explore the key issues at stake in ensuring an effective energy transition.

09:45 | Session 3: Cogeneration in Europe - Trends and market outlook |
The cogeneration sector in Europe is very diverse. Not only does the situation vary in every country, each segment, from large scale to micro cogeneration, has its specific profile. Against this backdrop, trends in the cogeneration landscape will be looked upon and a market outlook for the different segments will be provided.

11:45 | Session 4: Changing business models for cogeneration? |
The economics of cogeneration are impacted by a variety of factors, including developments in energy markets, policy and regulatory conditions and, ultimately, the needs of the energy customer. Session 4 will explore how the business case for cogeneration has been changing, taking into account the wider investment environment and impacts of EU and national legislation. Different perspectives will be provided by financiers, cogeneration project developers and customers. Moderator: Simon Minett, Managing Director, Challoch Energy Keynote Presentations:

14:30 | Session 5: Local energy revolution - Powered by the people (EUSEW 2018 session - supported by the PACE project) |
Decentralised efficient and renewable energy has the power to put consumers at the centre of the energy transition. Democratising energy will ensure householders and small business can benefit from secure, clean and affordable heat and electricity. While increasingly appealing, becoming a prosumer is still restricted by persistent regulatory and market barriers. Tackling barriers along with reducing product cost will ensure accessibility for all consumers to innovative on-site energy solutions, including small/micro-CHP, PV, heat pumps, solar thermal. Combined with smart grids deployment, demand response and building efficiency improvements, decentralised energy will ensure a flexible, decarbonised and cost-effective energy transition. This session is organised in the framework of the EU Sustainable Energy Week 2018 and is supported by the PACE project, Pathway to a Competitive European Fuel Cell micro-Cogeneration Market, a project co-funded by the Fuel Cells and Hydrogen Joint Undertaking. This session is open to the general public and free of charge. Register HERE for this session. Moderator: Jorgo Chatzimarkakis, Secretary General, Hydrogen Europe (invited) Keynote Introduction:
