The International CHP/DHC Collaborative

In the G8 Gleneagles Communiqué of July 2005, G8 leaders state that “IEA will advise on alternative energy scenarios and strategies aimed at a clean, clever and competitive energy future”.   In Heiligendamm in 2007, these leaders issued a direct charge that nations must increase their use of Combined Heat and Power (CHP)

The IEA International Combined Heat and Power (CHP)/District Heating and Cooling (DHC) Collaborative is designed to help evaluate global lessons learned and guide the G8 and other efforts. The CHP/DHC Collaborative assesses global markets and policies for these important technologies. It is also producing data on current installations, assessing technology growth potentials for key markets, and documenting best practice policies — offering insights to policymakers and industry seeking to advance these low-carbon solutions.
