technologies

(re-)Introduce micro-CHP benefits to new EP and EC

Higher awareness among EU

policymakers Supportive EU policy

Reach MS via COGEN’s national

networks

Ambitious implementation of

EU legislation at national level

Favourable national policy framework

Concept: a community of users, installers, manufacturers who

enable and are committed to the use CHP technologies to meet

the energy needs of their businesses and homes.

vs.

myCHP Campaign What is myCHP?

cogeneurope.eu

myCHP Campaign Objectives

13

• Shift in perspective from technical aspects to the utility

to and experience of end users

• Engaging hearts rather than minds

• Create a campaign in which the energy user/micro-CHP

owner is at the centre

• Convey CHP benefits through the eyes of the users.

cogeneurope.eu

myCHP Campaign Scope

14

Focus on the individual/business who has chosen a CHP system for

their household or business

Family who has installed a micro-CHP in their house;

Small business owners, e.g. the ski lodge in Germany, the greenhouse

growing tomatoes, the country hotel, the caravan site;

Large multinational hotel chains or hospitals, highlight the manager of an

individual branch of the hotel in one location.

Primary focus at rollout

CHP installed in residential, commercial & public buildings

&

Their owners

cogeneurope.eu

myCHP Campaign Target audiences

15

• Brussels officials: MEPs, CoR, possibly European Commission;

• COGEN current & potential members: manufacturers wanting to

showcase their technologies;

• Potential CHP users: businesses, installers, possibly domestic users.

cogeneurope.eu

myCHP Campaign Visual identity & dissemination

16

• Logo (keeping elements from the new COGEN logo)

• Website (initially integrated into COGEN website, with case

study carousel/possibly stand alone website)

• Social media presence (Twitter, Facebook)

• Printed materials (e.g. brochures, roll-ups)

cogeneurope.eu

myCHP Campaign Case studies

17

Examples of CHP projects in households/small businesses

Testimonials from users highlighting their experience after

installing the unit

Standard techno-economic parameters (e.g. running costs,

size of installation, pay-back time)

Links to the manufacturer and installer

cogeneurope.eu 18

Raising awareness among EU and national policy makers of

micro-and small-scale CHP technologies, and the benefits

they deliver to end users.

Manufacturers will get the opportunity to showcase their

technologies.

Commercial users benefit from the promotion of their business.
