Major activities for energy efficiency and GHG mitigation in industry
Major activities for energy efficiency and GHG mitigation in in industry were discussed when the IETS ExCo met with Finnish stakeholders for a workshop. The workshop was held in Espoo, Fnland, in conjunction with the IETS ExCo meeting on November 27-28, hosted by Finnish observer organization VTT.
Several interesting projects were presented and there were questions and exchange of experiences from different sectors and countries. Chair concluded by hoping that there will be more collaboration between Finnish organizations and the IETS.
