European leaders signed up in March 2007 to a binding EU-wide target to source 20% of their energy needs from renewables such as biomass, hydro, wind and solar power by 2020. On 23 January 2008, the Commission put forward differentiated targets for each EU member state, based on the per capita GDP of each country. There is great potential for REHC technologies such as Solar Thermal, Biomass and Geothermal to help member states reach their ambitious 2020 targets. In preparation for the 2020 targets EU member states are frantic about how they will achieve these goals. The EU will fine ember states who do not comply.

RE-HC 2008 congress will examine the technologies, current markets and relative costs for heat and cold production using biomass, geothermal and solar-assisted systems. It will also evaluate a range of national case studies and relevant policies.
