NORA’s Workshop will highlight the research work being done by NORA as well as an international perspective through the participation of Eurofuel.

Established in 2000, NORA mission focuses on Energy Efficiency, Environmental Responsibility, Safety, Research & Development and Professional Education, with particular emphasis on transitioning liquid heating fuels and appliances to a low-carbon source of heat and hot water.

The key purpose of this workshop is to develop a shared vision of the focus of NORA’s activities for the coming year.

The 2024 Technology Workshop will offer presentations and attendee participation in a workshop setting in the following areas:

• Priorities of the Liquid Heating Fuels industry in Europe
• Building Codes Updates
• DOE Efficiency Standards
• Biodiesel: Field & Lab Results and Standards Updates
• Renewable Diesel/HVO: Its application in heating, NORA Testing, European Experience and a Proposed Fuel Test
• Net-Zero Carbon Buildings
• NORA R&D Priorities

Dr. Thomas Butcher, NORA’s Director of Research offered this about the upcoming workshop, “With NORA’s mandate to advance efficiency and environmental responsibility, this workshop provides the opportunity to collaborate with the industry’s leaders and European partners to create a pathway for continued carbon reduction and more efficient building heating. Working with the Southern New England Energy Conference (SNEEC) will provide a stimulating environment for our workshop, and we encourage all SNEEC attendees and other interested parties to attend.”

Registration for the NORA Technical Workshop is included in the Southern New England Energy Conference registration.
