agreements with the IEEA
The usual co-financing rate is 50%
3
ACTIONS SUPPORTED
1000+ organisations from
30 European countries
carry out 200+ European
projects
organise 35 major European
events
establish 30+ local/regional
energy agencies

ECOHEATCOOL
14 Partners,
32 countries
Objective:
communicate that district heating and cooling, can expand
further in an extended EU
Approach
Analyse heating and cooling demands in Europe
Determine possibilities for district heating and cooling
Provide a tool to assess the efficiency of district heating systems
Highlight the impact of more district heating and cooling on
European policy objectives
Recommend strategies for more sustainable heat and cold supply

COGEN CHALLENGE
A European information campaign to
demonstrate that small-scale
cogeneration is feasible, reliable and
adaptable to the needs of many users
Expected results:
6 regional small-scale
cogeneration facilitators
Workshops, seminars,
training of the trainers, media events
Fact sheets, brochures, best practices, contact lists,
calculation tools
Showcase of 1,000 projects on www.cogen-challenge.org

OPTIPOLYGEN
Focus: food industry with cooling and
heating needs
Objective: determine the polygeneration
potential in the European food industries
and boost its development
Expected results:
database of applications
survey of the polygeneration potential in the
European food industry
Technical, financial and investment guides
Training material for consultants and engineers

HOW TO APPLY
FOR IEE FUNDING
Preparing your application
What kind of projects ?
IEE is a European programme looking for
European added value
NOT singular actions on national or local level (subsidiarity)
BUT … learning together and from each other
IEE is a non-technology programme
NOT funding costs for investments in demonstration
BUT … addressing non-technological barriers
19
IEE project impacts
3 levels of impacts
are expected :
Raise awareness
Change attitudes / policies
New legislation / new
investment / market
transformation
