On Tuesday 21 November 2023, EU-ASE President Monica Frassoni will speak at a seminar hosted by ODE and COGEN Vlaanderen titled: “EU Green Deal”. Register here to attend!

The Green Deal is the European Commission’s first European climate plan to transform the European Union into a climate-neutral and sustainable continent by 2050. The Green Deal includes several measures aimed at reducing greenhouse gas emissions. For example, work is being done to promote renewable energy, improve energy efficiency in buildings and promote sustainable mobility.

What does that mean for us, this early warning about what is coming our way from the EU and outlines a framework for the next 5 to 10 years? Is the FIT for 55 package a quietly rising sea level coming our way or a tsunami?

ODE (The Sustainable Energy Organization) and COGEN Vlaanderen present to you the final revisions of this European legislation and its impact on the various technologies. EU-ASE President Monica Frassoni will give a presentation about the broad aspects of the new Energy Efficiency Directive (EED).

On Tuesday 10 October, EU-ASE President Monica Frassoni spoke at Concerted Action for the Energy Efficiency Directive (CA EED), motivating implementing bodies in their efforts to put in place robust policies & measures in order to deliver on the energy efficiency targets.

 To support discussion on the implementation of the directive, EU-ASE President Monica Frassoni was invited to provide a key note address at the opening session of the next plenary meeting of the Concerted Action for the Energy Efficiency Directive (CA EED).

The CA EED is one of the major tools in the energy efficiency toolbox for Member State policy makers and implementors. It supports policy makers, implementors and public authorities to deliver on energy efficiency, it contributes to the understanding and sharing of good practices, energy saving measurement methodologies and helps resolve EED implementation issues. The CA provides an informal platform where policy makers and implementors can share, discuss and create. It has been doing this for just under fifteen years and aims to continue to provide support into the new EED era.

This meeting aims to help Member State EED implementing bodies to get a better understanding of the more technical aspects of the recast, it will be the first opportunity the more technical implementors will be provided with to bring more clarity and understanding.

Monica’s role was to inspire the audience and motivate them in their efforts to put in place robust policies and measures in order to deliver on the energy efficiency targets, which for many will be challenging.

On Monday 26 June 2023, EU-ASE President Monica Frassoni spoke at “Energies at the crossroad: EU and Eurasian Countries in Dialogue.”

Organised by Green Energy Management (GEM) – Silkway Summer School, the event aimed to draw reflections on the energy transition, which is a topic of public concern that affects cultures and societies at the global level.

The aim of GEM-SILKWAY CENTRA ASIA is to adopt a cross-cultural perspective in analysing the meaning of concepts like sustainability and human development.

EU-ASE President Monica Frassoni discussed the green transition and energy efficiency legislation in the EU.

On Thursday 22 June 2023, EU-ASE President Monica Frassoni spoke at the European Sustainable Energy Week 2023 (EUSEW) event titled “The role of competitive clean energy technologies to implement climate targets for 2030”.

Discussion revolved around the significance of energy efficiency for the EU`s climate goals, industrial and economic competitiveness and resilience to polycrises.

Monica stated: “The proposal for a Net-Zero Industry Act, unfortunately, has a very insufficient attention to Energy Efficiency First principle and the need to reduce energy demand.”
