On 10 December 2019, the “EU Energy Day” was held in Madrid, organised by the European Commission in its own pavilion in the blue zone of COP25. The aim of the event was to involve the major European energy companies with the most innovative ones in order to accelerate innovation in the clean energy sector in a way that contributes to the European Union’s goal of being the first 100% renewable content by 2050.
Michael R. Bloomberg, Frans Timmermans and Werner Hoyer, President of the EIB, took part in the event, developing financing strategies dedicated to the growth of innovative companies that contribute to the Union's objective.
Ingelia had the honour of participating in the session “Accelerating innovation for the European green objective” sharing a round table with the executives of major European companies such as Elina Kivioja, CEO, Vattenfall Finland, Antoine Badinier, Deputy to the Group Sustainability Officer, EDF, Manon van Beek, CEO, TenneT and Fabrizio Bizzarri, Head of Solar, Wind and Geothermal Innovation, Enel Green Power. The session was moderated by Mark van Stiphoutm head of unit of the clean energy directorate of the European Commission and the session was closed by Patrick Child, director of energy of the European Commission, who assured that the Paris Agreement will only be successful if, as humanity, we are able to develop a new climate-neutral energy technologies to bring them to the market. The Horizon 2020 programme, the largest programme supporting research and innovation in the world (€80 billion from 2014 to 2020), in combination with other mechanisms supporting R&I in the energy sector ensure that the EU has a portfolio of instruments to ensure that the energy technologies needed to achieve climate neutrality are researched, developed and brought to market as quickly as possible.
Thanks to Innonergy, Ingelia's HTC technology for recovering carbon from organic waste was chosen to represent European Innovation in the field of biomass.
