2007 Annual Conference & Trade Show Proceedings
8:20 am 10:40 am - Opening Plenary Session District Energy: Setting the Pace, Leading the Way
Climate Change, Carbon Constraints and
Creating a New Energy Future
The changing carbon paradigm is
stimulating widespread investment in cleaner, energy-efficient solutions.
Capital flow, market mechanisms and getting the rules right will make all the
difference if District Energy is to capitalize on this convergence of
opportunities. Peter Fusaro, Chairman, Global Change Associates, Inc.
Sustainable Energy Future: The Role of District Energy & CHP - District Energy/CHP holds great global potential to increase energy efficiency, enhance infrastructure and reduce greenhouse gas emissions. How can the industry capitalize on this new momentum? Where do we go from here?
Dr. Robert K. Dixon, Head, Energy Technology Policy Division, International Energy Agency (IEA)IDEA Energy Policy Initiatives - The View from Capitol Hill - The US Congress is actively discussing new energy legislation to increase efficiency and reduce energy dependency. IDEA has proposed policy initiatives for investment tax credits, revolving funds and thermal energy provisions that would stimulate investment in District Energy Systems. How do we mobilize as an industry and what is really at stake? Mark Spurr, Legislative Director, IDEA
