The European Heating Industry Association advocates for efficient technologies
The new energy crisis has laid bare the urgent and pressing need for the European Union to move towards independence from imported fossil fuels.
This scenario reinforces the strategic role of the transition to a clean energy system, based on the accelerated roll-out of renewable energy, electrification and the implementation of efficient technologies such as heat pumps, according to the conclusions of the general assembly of the association of the European Heating Industry (EHI), hosted in London and attended by FEGECA.
The general assembly of the association of the European Heating Industry (EHI), held recently in London, brought together representatives from leading European industry associations and companies to discuss market trends, energy policies and the regulatory challenges that will shape the future of the heating industry in Europe. The Spanish Association for Heat Generator and Emitter Manufacturers (FEGECA) was represented by the Director Sonia Pomar.
According to those attending the assembly, the European Green Deal is expected to safeguard Europe’s energy security in an increasingly uncertain international climate. The new energy crisis has laid bare the urgent and pressing need for the European Union to move towards independence from imported fossil fuels. This scenario reinforces the strategic importance of the transition to a clean energy system, based on the accelerated roll-out of renewable energy, electrification and the adoption of energy-efficient technologies such as heat pumps, they concluded.
Decarbonisation of buildings
The assembly was opened by Jan Brockmann, President of the EHI and representative of the Bosch Home Comfort Group. Federica Sabbati, Secretary General of the EHI, then handed over to the heads of the association’s working groups, who presented a summary of the activities carried out over the course of the year. There was also time to discuss market trends in various countries, and to review legislative updates and their future implications.
The meeting also provided an opportunity to present the EHI’s roadmap for the period 2026–2027, which focuses on complying with the European Union’s Climate and Energy Strategy. Where the decarbonisation of buildings remains the overarching objective, with particular focus on the role of the European Parliament and engagement with representatives of the Member States on the main committees, with a view to establishing the EHI as a key stakeholder in the field of heating technologies.
