- In recent years, energy companies operating large combined heat and power plants were looking to switch from coal to gas as a stepping stone towards decarbonisation.
- A recent study done for the European Commission identified a number of ways that these systems could achieve intensive decarbonisation by integrating renewable and carbon neutral energy sources and technologies, and participating in energy system integration.
- Speaking at a recent EURACTIV event, Moser noted that several pieces of EU legislation, such as the Energy Performance of Buildings Directive, the Renewable Energy Directive and the Energy Efficiency Directive, are trying to “promote neighbourhood solutions” to heating and “make sure we have a more systemic approach”.
