The new statutory
framework in Germany
for combined heat and
power generation
14 August 2008 - Essen, Germany (in German)
28 August 2008 - Berlin, Germany (in German with English interpretation)
In its new climate protection package, the German coalition government has drawn up a programme to double the share of CHP plants in electricity production by 2020. For this purpose, the CHP law (KWKG) has been revised, incentives for the efficient use of biomass CHP installations have been improved in amendments to the Renewable Energies Act (EEG), a special funding programme for small CHP plants has been launched, other measures in support of CHP have been introduced in the Renewable Energies Heat Act (EEWG) and new regulations on feeding biogas into the natural gas grid have been adopted.
In order to inform national and European CHP stakeholders of the new legislative developments in Germany, B.KWK (the German CHP Association) organises a one-day workshop “The new statutory framework in Germany for combined heat and power generation”. At the workshop, offered at four different locations throughout Germany, well-know legal authorities on energy issues and experts from science and industry explain in depth what this means for investors and operators.
The one-day workshops take place as follows:
- 14 August 2008 in Essen
- 28 August in Berlin – with English interpretation
- 4 September 2008 in Hamburg
- 18 September 2008 in Stuttgart

Walk 21:
The 9th International Conference on Walking
Barcelona, Spain
Walking is the first thing an infant wants to do and the last thing an old person wants to give up. Walking is the exercise that does not need a gym. It is the prescription without medicine, the weight control without diet, and the cosmetic that can't be found in a chemist. It is the tranquilliser without a pill, the therapy without a psychoanalyst, and the holiday that does not cost a penny. What's more, it does not pollute, consumes few natural resources and is highly efficient. Walking is convenient, it needs no special equipment, is self-regulating and inherently safe. Walking is as natural as breathing.
John Butcher, Founder of Walk21, 1999
