Goeller elected for third term

BELGIUM: Juergen Goeller has been re-elected chair of the European Partnership for Energy and the Environment (EPEE) for a further two years.

Goeller, UTC Climate’s director of sustainability, was re-elected at last week’s EPEE AGM. He has been EPEE chair since 2014.

Speaking at the event, EPEE director general Andrea Voigt said: “EPEE has enjoyed a very successful – and busy – last twelve months. We welcomed three new members: GREE, Krajowe Forum Chłodnictwa, and Daikin Refrigerants. We also held events across Europe and the world on F-gas, heating and cooling, energy efficiency, and much more, and have further positioned our association as a leading voice on the European and global stage.”
