"Security of Supply - Power Plant Technology at the Crossroads?” This was the slogan of the VGB Congress "Power Plants 2012", which took place with more than 1.000 participants from 25 countries in Mannheim/Germany on October 10 - 12, 2012.
The targets of the future supply of energy and power in Europe have been set: by 2020 minus 20 percent greenhouse gas emissions, plus 20 percent energy savings, in particular by increasing energy efficiency and a 20 percent share of renewables in total energy consumption. All of this is to be achieved in an open European market.
