➢ A new generation of energy professionals power the net-zero transition in Europe

Andrea Voigt, Vice-President, Head of Public Affairs and Sustainability, Danfoss (24/06/2024)

There is a huge potential in waste heat, which unfortunately remains untapped. It's 2 860 terawatt hours… and to put it a little bit into perspective, this corresponds to the total primary energy consumption, more or less, in France, so it's huge, but it's not being used.  

- Andrea Voigt, Vice-President, Head of Public Affairs and Sustainability, Danfoss

Nevin Alija, Member of the Global Future Energy Leaders programme of the World Energy Council (24/06/2024)

We have to harness the potential that we have in these local communities. We have to invest in empowering them, in involving them, and also making sure that the knowledge that we have in this room gets even broader.

Mechthild Wörsdörfer, Deputy Director-General for Energy, European Commission (13/06/2024)

We really need to work on the buildings; buildings are still 40% of our energy consumption. We need to insulate our houses, introduce more efficient windows, more efficient products in our daily life. That can help us exit the crisis and, of course, reach our 2030 targets.

Tinne Van der Straeten, EU presidency Belgian Minister (11/06/2024)

The European grids should be an enabler rather than a bottleneck for the energy transition.

- Tinne Van der Straeten, EU presidency Belgian Minister

Alain Hubert, Chairman of the Board, International Polar Foundation (11/06/2024)

The European objective to be zero-emission by 2050 is a very interesting goal. But to reach that, we have to change our behaviour and not continue to develop new technologies systematically.

- Alain Hubert, Chairman of the Board, International Polar Foundation

Morten Peterson, Member of the European Parliament (11/06/2024)

Only when green electrons can flow freely across our borders and energy efficiency is truly acknowledged will we fully reap benefits of a unified European energy market and transform Europe into a self-sufficient electricity powerhouse, ensuring our collective prosperity and security for generations to come. Much has been done, but there's still so much work ahead.

- Morten Peterson, Member of the European Parliament

Sorcha Edwards, General Secretary, Housing Europe (11/06/2024)

We have to learn to handle and share our resources, our scarce resources, in a better way. And I think these projects show that it really can be done.

- Sorcha Edwards, General Secretary, Housing Europe

Ditte Juul Jørgensen, Director-General for Energy, European Commission (11/06/2024)

In order to achieve this reduction of dependence on Russia, we deployed a number of different instruments. One of them was the accelerated deployment of clean energy, of renewable energy in particular, and we have simply facilitated that deployment through a series of measures, investment, financing, but also an acceleration of permitting, a reduction of the barriers to the deployment of renewable energy.

- Ditte Juul Jørgensen, Director-General for Energy, European Commission

Alan AtKisson, Executive Secretary and Chief Executive Officer, Global Water Partnership (11/06/2024)

If you're aware of the challenge that you face with climate change, ensuring peace and security everywhere, prosperity for everybody, that can be very frustrating work. It can feel pretty much of a burden, but that's really a normal reaction. And don't let those feelings stop you. Keep pushing. Keep dreaming that rock is rolling faster and faster because more and more people are pushing it.
