Abstract: Development of CHP plays an important role in the European move towards a sustainable future. The development of CHP is to be found where there is a heat load today. Eastern Europe with a district heating coverage of 35%, represents the most obvious market for increasing global CHP coverage. Existing CHP plants in Eastern Europe, however, are presently being closed down due to changed fuel and electricity market conditions. A common effort between Western and Eastern European countries is needed to evaluate and reverse this development.

Keywords: cogeneration; combined heat and power; barriers; CHP development; Eastern Europe; energy markets; district heating.
