ABSTRACT
In my capacity as Director General of IDAE I should like to thank you for attending this Seminar and wish you a profitable exchange of ideas.
I should like to point out that, after the success of the 1st. International Cogeneration Congress held in Madrid in 1988 and in view of IDAE’s willingness to hold a second meeting of a similar nature in 1990, this Seminar serves to span both occasions; and, in doing so, it affords us the dual opportunity of discussing the present panorama of co-generation in European industry and looking at both the achievements recorded to date as well as the future, awaiting a technology, which, doubtless owing to the advantages it provides, is experiencing a boom.
