Through its energy and climate policies the EU has set a number of ambitious goals recently (e.g. by 2020 the share of renewable energy sources should increase to 20% of total EU energy consumption. At the same time the use of RES in the New Member States and the Western Balkan countries is still significantly low compared to the EU. Therefore it is particularly important to support information flow, awareness raising and involvement of organisations in RES research and technology demonstration projects in these countries.
The RES BOAT will bring together all European stakeholders in an encouraging atmosphere to support knowledge-transfer in the field of RES at European level and promote project results of FP7, FP6, IEE, SAVE II and ALTENER II programmes. The symbolic event will be held between 23-27 March 2009, aboard a boat (the RES BOAT) passing through 5 countries (Austria, Slovakia, Hungary, Croatia and Serbia) with the final event to be held in Belgrade in the geographic vicinity of Romania and Bulgaria. The voyage on the river Danube connecting nations in the Enlarged EU will also bring attention to the Southeast region of Europe.
Main topics of the conference are:
Vienna, 23 March 2009: Renewable Electricity Technologies
Bratislava, 24 March 2009: Polygeneration
Budapest, 25 March 2009: Eco-Buildings
Vukovar, 26 March 2009: Biofuels and alternative motor fuels
Belgrade, 27 March 2009: Renewable heating and cooling Technologies
Objectives
The main objective of the project is to reach a critical mass in the promotion of RES project results (FP7, FP6, IEE, ALTERNER II, SAVE II and national programmes) in Europe through a series of events held aboard boat on the river Danube. Special emphasis will be put on Central-Eastern and Southern Europe and at the same time on awareness raising about the importance of sustainable energy use.

The EurObserv’ER barometer has been since 1999 the tool that makes it possible to measure the progress made by renewable energies in each member state in an as up-to-day way as possible. EurObserv’ER produces a series of energy indicators that are analysed so as to give the main trends of a given RES sector on a member state and EU-level. Every two month a new barometer is posted on all the partners’ websites. The EurObserv’ER barometer helps energy stakeholders to grasp in a very synthetic way the latest developments in the RES sectors and to forecast the short and middle term evolutions that will affect them.

Phase I of the E TRACK project has investigated the feasibility of a harmonised standard for tracking of electricity generation attributes in Europe. Such tracking is required by electricity disclosure (also called labelling) and can also be used for support schemes and for accounting for the targets of Member States for electricity from renewable energy sources (RES-E). Phase II of the project will continue the process of harmonisation of tracking systems across Europe, including the new Guarantees of Origin for high-efficient cogeneration (CHP-E). It will also focus on the specific situation of new Member States in the implementation of tracking systems and will support consumers and their organisations to define their requirements on tracking systems and the related policies. The objective of the E-TRACK standard, which has been developed in Phase I of the project, is to establish a comprehensive, reliable approach to tracking across Europe, which minimises the risk of double counting at reasonable cost. Key elements of the standard have been taken up by a number of countries already. Documents | E-TRACK II fact sheet |
The main obstacle to the development of RES heating systems in private household is related to the high investment cost of these installations. Direct tax measures (income tax credits, income tax reductions and tax allowances) are being used today by five Members States to reduce this initial outlay: Austria, Belgium, France, Italy and Portugal.
The effect of these measures is not well known. REFUND + will evaluate the five on-going experiences through a bottom-up economic investigation of impacts and a qualitative study among consumers and installers of concerned technologies. Overall cross-country analysis will determine best practises, success or failure factors. Implementation of such instruments will be simulated in two case studies on Lithuania and Poland. The consortium will devise operational recommendations directed to policy makers so as to enable them to optimise their tax policies and to facilitate adoption of such support policies in the countries where such measures do not exist. Findings will be disseminated through five regional workshops, two regional conferences in CEECs, presentations to the IEA and Council of Europe and a closing conference.
The project started on the 1st November 2006 and will go on until June 2009.

Cities with their willingness and ability to change, hold great power in the climate challenge. As of today, cities are home to more than half the world's population, and are responsible for 80% of greenhouse gases produced. As cities are responsible for the majority of greenhouse emissions harming our planet, as well as are those parties to be most acutely affected by climate change, the time has come for cities to realize their roles as main players in climate action. Hamburg wishes to bring together the world's major cities along with the Covenant of Mayors, to demonstrate cities world-wide dedication towards taking on further responsibility, and to urge the Conference of Parties to take decisive action.
