Held under the theme “Energy transition now – fast, smart, resilient!”, the event focused on translating European climate and energy ambitions into practical action.
Its programme included:
- the European Energy Efficiency Conference;
- the European Pellet Conference;
- the Industrial Energy Efficiency Conference;
- the Smart E-Mobility Conference;
- the Young Energy Researchers Conference;
- a workshop on cities and regions as drivers of climate neutrality.
Main lessons
The discussions showed that energy efficiency and renewable energy contributed not only to climate neutrality but also to energy security, affordability and economic resilience.
Participants highlighted the need to combine ambitious policies with stronger clean-energy markets, suitable financing and solutions that could be implemented by businesses, cities and regions.
The event also demonstrated the importance of cooperation among public authorities, researchers, energy agencies and technology providers when moving from policy targets to practical implementation.
Practical value
The conference provided external users with examples and insights relevant to:
- designing regional energy-transition measures;
- improving industrial energy efficiency;
- supporting clean mobility and renewable heating;
- connecting policy objectives with investment and market development;
- involving cities and regions in climate-neutrality efforts.
