Combined heat and power (CHP) production has clear
environmental advantages as it is imperative to encourage more efficient
use of fossil fuels and to reduce greenhouse gases (GHG) emissions. Croatia
does not have national energy, environmental or climate change strategies
and there is no government agency dedicated to rational energy use. In
the process of closer co-operation between Croatia and the EU those strategies
will have to be put in line with European strategy, and necessary legislation
produced.
The
objective of the project is to increase the sustainability of Croatian
development advancing in the same time the European priorities, objectives
of the UNFCCC and global sustainability by establishing the local capacity
for development and implementation of guidelines for local co-generation
sector. The purpose of this project is to set up a co-generation sector
framework for an environmental and climate change action plan by setting
strategy for obtaining an integrated environmental, climate change and
energy guidelines for CHP sector. It will also propose the necessary legislation
changes in order to facilitate application of rational energy use in the
CHP sector and in order to put it in line with the Acquis Communautaire.
Further, it will obtain generalised framework of necessary measures that
could then be applied in other countries of the Western Balkans region,
as well as in other Economies in Transition.
The
expected results of the project will include a framework for a national
co-generation strategy that would be in line with the environmental and
climate change priorities and sustainable development needs, as well as
the generalised framework for CHP sector revitalisation that could be
re-used in the region.
