The Paris Agreement, the European Green Plan, the 'Ready for 55' Package and ending the European Union's dependence on Russian fossil fuels are some of the challenges currently facing energy and power sector. Consequently, the district heating systems, that is, the more or less centralized supply of thermal energy, should also be decarbonized.

How to cover the needs for heat from renewable sources, which projects are being implemented and planned in the field of district heating, and which are the modern technologies, products and services for the production, distribution and supply of thermal energy are questions that have been answered for the third year in a row by the District Heating - Forum on District Heating and Cooling which was held in Osijek on 14 and 15 September 2023.

Summer is slowly going to an end and colder days are coming. Although many citizens who are connected to district heating systems in several Croatian cities did not have hot water this summer, this is because almost everywhere extensive works are underway in order to modernize, reconstruct, restore and expand these systems, all with the aim of establishing safer, more reliable, more economical and ecological heat supply not only in the coming heating season, but also in the years to come. After all, district heating systems are the future of heating.

All of these projects, and much more, will be among the topics of this year's, already the third, Forum on District Heating and Cooling - DISTRICT HEATING 2023.

See you in Osijek on 14 and 15 September 14!

For 20 years Croatian Seminars on Pressure Equipment have met the expectations of participants and brought new ideas for the improvement of the entire field of pressure equipment, encouraging responsible persons and relevant state authorities to cooperate in this area full of special features and extremely important for the entire economy.

Namely, as it was pointed out at the jubilee, 20th Croatian Seminar on Pressure Equipment, and what has been constantly repeated in the past two decades of the struggle for this technical field of expertize, pressure equipment is considered an extremely sensitive and demanding area due to the danger to people, the environment and material goods, therefore to which must be given special attention.

The possibility of Croatian industry to participate in the DONES fusion project, requirements and peculiarities in aluminum welding, reviews of problems in the work of inspection bodies and perspectives on their resolution, traceability of welding works during repairs of pressure equipment - these are some of the presentations applied for the jubilee, 20th Croatian Seminar on Pressure Equipment, which takes place on 6 July in Zagreb.

See you soon!
