Half of Europe’s energy consumption is used for heating and cooling (H&C). However, two thirds of the heating systems installed in European buildings are inefficient. In order to achieve climate neutrality, the decarbonisation of the space heating and cooling in residential sector is therefore essential.
The REPLACE project partners are pleased to invite you to the webinar “Towards Renewable Heating & Cooling: Replacement of Inefficient Systems in the Residential Sector” to present the key findings of the project and discuss the framework conditions for replacement, exchanging old conventional fossil fuel systems with renewable ones.
This webinar is an excellent opportunity to learn how the phase-out of fossil-based heating systems can be brought forward in the European agenda and to find out more about modern renewable technologies. In collaboration with the BUILD UP Portal, we invite you for discussions on how renewable energy at home can contribute to Europe’s energy transition, while empowering consumers in their energy choices.

Location: Brussels, PressClub Europe – Conference hall / online
While solar photovoltaics markets are booming globally, the question of sustainability has never been more important than now: PV paves the way for drastically reducing carbon emissions globally and in Europe, accelerating the energy transition and significantly contributing to creating jobs and economic value. However, the question of how to improve the sustainability of PV products is still at the core of the political agenda, with the need to develop an energy sector cleaner, greener and more sustainable than the one it is replacing. One of the key policy instruments that could increase the sustainability of PV products is the ecodesign concept and its derivatives. This event intends browsing through the current situation and highlighting the positive impacts on the market and industry that such policies could trigger.

Moderne Gewächshäuser ermöglichen einen Anbau von Pflanzen, vor allem von Nahrungsmitteln, während des ganzen Jahres. So können regional erzeugte Lebensmittel angeboten werden, die früher hätten importiert werden müssen. Eine Herausforderung ist dabei der oft hohe Energieeinsatz zur Klimatisierung der Gewächshäuser. Auch die Bewässerung, das Nährstoffmanagement und verschiedenen Anbauschritte benötigen Energie.
Der Workshop „Erneuerbare Energien und Energieeffizienz in Gewächshäusern“ am 18 Februar 2022 um 9:00 stellt technische Ansätze und Fördermöglichkeiten dar, die zur Reduktion von Treibhausgasen im überdachten Gartenbau führen können. Zielgruppe des Workshops sind Gemüsebauern, Landwirte, Vertreter von Behörden und Politik, Technologieanbieter, Energieberater und alle interessierten Personen.
Die Teilnahme am Workshop ist kostenlos, um Registrierung wird gebeten. Der Workshop wird im Rahmen des EU-Projektes AgroFossilFree (www.agrofossilfree.eu) organisiert.
