The world has entered a new energy era, where energy technology has a vital role to play.
Sustainable Energy Technology at Work, SETatWork, strives at uniformed effort on
addressing the EU interests in the carbon markets, by comprising EU policy goals as well as
business opportunities. The basic objective of SETatWork, is to facilitate the entry of
European know-how on Sustainable Energy Technologies (SET) into emerging climate
markets: the European Union Emission Trading Scheme (EU ETS) and the Clean
Development Mechanism (CDM) market in Asia and Latin America.

Sustainable Energy Technology at Work, a project supported by the EU's Seventh Framework
Programme (FP7), is thus having as a key aim to promote sustainable energy technologies at
carbon markets with focus on EU ETS and CDM markets in Asia and Latin America.

The T@W Sustainable Energy Technology at Work project today consists of 10 partners from
Europe, 4 partners from Asia and 1 from Latin America.

Introduction/background and meeting content

The global society is faced with a huge challenge in order to meet the threat given by
global warming. The project SETatWork - Sustainable Energy Technologies at Work
aims to meet this challenge through the collaboration and partnerships between
organisations in EU, Asia and South America, supported by the EU's Seventh
Framework Programme (FP7).

In this context, one ETS match-making event has been organized as a side event
during the 18th European Biomass Conference with the following objectives:

• promote the implementation of innovative and sustainable technologies in

companies that participate in EU Emissions Trading System

• matching stakeholders involved in energy efficiency and savings in European

industry sectors for realization of energy efficiency and saving projects.

In the final part of the workshop, a "networking cocktail" has been organized where
participants had the opportunity to share experiences, discuss "face-to-face"
regarding new business opportunities, present innovative ideas, search for
technologies, projects and know-how, meet potential co-operation partners and
promote the company profile.

The event was addressed to stakeholders involved in sustainable energy technologies

or project development services and to those involved in a project or seeking for
project development assistance or technology suppliers.

Overall assessment of the outcome of the meeting
The 18th EUBC&E has featured the SETatWork project Networking Workshop, an
important occasion for matching stakeholders involved in energy efficiency and
savings in European industry sectors for realization of new projects.

The session was not only oriented in biomass technology. On the contrary, invited
speakers came from different sectors with the objective to promote the
implementation of innovative and sustainable technologies in companies that
participate in EU Emissions Trading System. In this context, relevant discussed
argument have been:

• demonstration of green energy projects

• opportunities for European companies to establish international cooperation
activities for projects outside EU (CDM projects in particular)
• power generation plants running on biogas or waste gases to meet stringent
emission standards
• power generation from biomass opportunities
• Deployment Of Sustainable Bioenergy In Industry: The Role Of International
Cooperation
• Funding opportunities offered by the European Commission for investements in
energy efficiency or saving projects and sustainable energy technologies
• ESCOs and Biomass Heat Contracting Markets And Implementation
opportunities In Europe

Speakers involved in the workshop came from different areas and participants
have had the chance to hear about funding opportunities for the development of
sustainable energy projects offered by the European Commission (SEE and
CORDIS), the potential for renewable energy in industrial applications and the role
of international cooperation (UNIDO United Nations Industrial Development
Organization), the Large-scale demonstration and deployment of green energy
projects in Scotland (Scottish European Green Energy Centre).

In addiction the industry sector was also represented by GE Jenbacher and Merloni
Progetti SPA who gave an overview about their product for power generation
applications to meet stringent emission standards.

The final presentation, made by WIP Renewable Energies, was a very interesting
overview about the energy efficiency investments which are offered by the Energy
Services Companies (ESCOs) at European level.

In the final part of the workshop, a "networking cocktail" has been organized,
participants have had the opportunity to share experiences and discuss "face-to-
face" regarding new business opportunities.

List of speakers and short summary of presentations
• Francesco Bazzoffi – ETA Florence - Renewable Energies, Italy
“The SETatWork project to assist European industries in gaining access to the
carbon markets”
See attached presentation (ANNEX 1).

• Colombe Warin – SEE Sustainable Energy Europe Campaign, European

Commission
“SEE to promote investment in sustainable energy technologies and
International Cooperation with Developing Countries”
The presentation was an interesting overview regarding the possibilities
offered by the Sustainable Energy Europe Campaign (an European Commission
initiative in the framework of the Intelligent Energy - Europe programme) for
the promotion and the financial support of sustainable energy projects as well
as cooperation with developing countries among private companies and public
authorities, professional and energy agencies, industry associations and NGOs
across Europe. In addiction, the possibility to benefit from a greater promotion
and visibility at European level by the participation at the Sustainable Energy
Europe Week initiative has been presented.

• Christine Michaut – CORDIS Community Research and Development

Information Service, European Commission
“CORDIS - the official access point to the 7th Framework Programme funding
opportunities”
The presentation highlighted the funding opportunities offered by the FP7
program, the EU's main instrument for funding research and development
activities. To facilitate participation in European Research activities, CORDIS
offers interactive web facilities that links together researchers, policymakers,
managers and key players in the field of research.

• Emanuele Taibi - UNIDO United Nations Industrial Development Organization

“The potential for renewable energy in industrial applications and the role of
international cooperation"
The presentation considered the deployment of sustainable bioenergy for
process heat in selected industrial sectors. Bioenergy technologies are the
most diverse in the renewable energy technologies panorama and there is no
silver bullet in bioenergy technology, but rather a set of BATs for specific
combinations of processes and feedstocks. The role of international
cooperation is to facilitate and speed up the process of bioenergy technology
deployment by removing the barriers to the realization of the potential.

• Jamie Robinson - Scottish European Green Energy Centre, Scotland

“Large-scale demonstration and deployment of green energy projects”
The centre opened in August 2009 and plays a catalytic role in the
development of green energy and in the development of partnerships on key

5
 policy priorities such as carbon capture and storage and renewable heat,
through its work in Scotland and with partners across Europe.
The key functions of the Centre are to support the development of joint
projects in green energy research and deployment, the EU-wide dissemination
of results of existing and new projects, helping create EU wide partnerships
with industry towards commercialisation and obtaining funding for these
activities through EU programmes.

• Thomas Elsenbruch - GE Jenbacher, Austria

“GE renewable power generation applications to meet stringent emission
standards”
GE's Jenbacher gas engines range in power from 0.25 to 4 MW and run on
either natural gas or a variety of other gases (e.g., biogas, landfill gas, coal
mine gas, sewage gas, combustible industrial waste gases). GE’s lean burn
combustion system and exhaust combustion system help reduce and minimize
exhaust emission in line with the European committment to realise the
20:20:20 objectives. In addiction, products offerd by GE offer maximum
efficiency in the conversion of energy and comply with the most stringent
emissions standards (like the Combined heat and power CHP plants that
generate electricity and heat locally where they are needed).

• Fabio Schiavini - Merloni Progetti SPA, Italy

“Building sustainable bio-energy solutions for social progress”
Merloni Progetti is the engineering and general contracting company of the
Fineldo group. Merloni Progetti is a leading company in the transfer of
technology and expertise in international markets and works as an industrial
partner in industrial plant planning, turnkey construction and start-up of
plants in the electromechanics sector, environmental treatments, biofuels,
and the production of electricity from biomass.

• Wolfgang Hiegl - WIP Renewable Energies, Germany

"Biomass Heat Contracting: markets and implementation in EU"
The presentation gave an overview about the ESCOs (energy service
companies). ESCOs, or contracting schemes, offer innovative financing
instruments and services, especially to public bodies. They are a promising
tool to increase the uptake of biomass heat technologies in the public sector
which could be a major driver for general market development. However, this
opportunity is not used to its full potential in countries with ESCo experience
(such as Finland or Germany) and it is not used at all in many other European
countries. Lack of general knowledge and insufficient transfer of know-how
are among the main barriers.
