Sustainable Cities Broadcast (on-demand)

With cities accounting for 80% of the global energy consumption and more than 70% of global carbon emissions, improving energy efficiency in heating and cooling systems, integrating sector coupling, and collaborating in groundbreaking partnerships can really make a difference. 

According to the COP28 agreement, our energy efficiency efforts must double for us to reach global net zero targets by 2030. This state of awareness needs to be converted to action and implemented at scale if we want to make it a reality. That is where Sustainable Cities comes into play.

The Sustainable Cities Broadcast gathers stakeholders from the industry, representatives from cities, policy makers, and partner organizations to participate in a panel discussion on these important topics:

• Electrification and population growth in cities
• Energy-efficient heating and cooling solutions
• Collaboration and sector coupling
• Efficient heat transfer technologies

The event is moderated by journalist and EU Climate Pact Ambassador, Catarina Rolfsdotter.

PANELISTS:

Aurélie Beauvais, Managing Director at Euroheat & Power

Olivier Racle, Head of the Business Platform DHC at ENGIE

Phil McDermott, City Energy Transformation Lead at E.ON UK

Sezgin Kadir, Group CEO at Kraftringen

Anna Ekdahl, Director, Energy Intensive Industries, Energy Transition at Ramböll

Ulf Gehrckens, Executive Vice President Corporate Energy & Climate Affairs at Aurubis AG

Malgorzata Moczynska, President Brazed and Fusion-bonded Heat Exchangers at Alfa Laval

Neil Parry, Global Head of District Energy at Alfa Laval

"COP28 was a starting point for creating awareness around Sustainable Cities. Now it is time to bring these learnings into action, and to effectively implement these practices on a larger scale. Making the cities more energy efficient and less fossil fuel dependent in relation to heating and cooling is pivotal for the climate transition and to support cities in reducing their emissions. That is why we bring together stakeholders from sectors across the value chain, because we need collaboration to successfully drive change,” says Thomas Møller, President Energy Division, Alfa Laval.
