The Paris event to provide networking opportunities

On May 9 and 10, 2011, experts, academics, policymakers and professionals from the district heating and district cooling sectors will converge at the 35th biennial Euroheat & Power Congress and Exhibition, which will be held at the Maison de la Chimie, Paris, the organisers announced. Hosted by Euroheat & Power and the French Association, FEDENE, the theme of the congress is Reduce, Recycle and Replace: Doubling District Heating Now!

Elaborating on the theme, Euroheat & Power said that achieving the EU 2020 and 2050 energy goals required adopting a systematic approach based on three REs – reducing end-use, recycling energy, that otherwise would be wasted, and replacing fossil fuels.

It added that district heating and district cooling played a key role in such a concept, and that the congress was an important reminder of the benefits and the potential that district heating and cooling sector could offer as modern, sustainable energy solutions.

The event is expected to provide delegates with a platform for debating political demands, business models, customer value and marketing tools. In addition, the exhibition, technical tours and social events will provide extra networking opportunities, the organisers claim.
