The European Green Deal sets ambitious climate targets. Representatives of the energy sector and the heating industry will come together with politicians to discuss the contributions that can be made by sources of energy and heating technology to the reduction of CO₂ emissions and the appropriate political framework.

The European Green Deal sets ambitious climate targets. CO₂ emissions should be cut by at least 55 percent compared to 1990 and, by 2050, Europe should be the first climate-neutral continent.

As the biggest consumer of energy in Germany and Europe, the heating market has a major role to play in achieving these climate goals. Representatives of the energy sector and the heating industry will come together with politicians to discuss the contributions that can be made by sources of energy and heating technology to the reduction of CO₂ emissions and the appropriate political framework.
