1 Briefing European Strategic Energy Technology Plan (SET-Plan) and NER300 by Dr T. Chaviaropoulos SET-Plan Steering Group member MinENV Athens, Nov. 2010

2 European Strategic Energy Technology Plan (SET-Plan) Based on Slides from the European Commission

3 Context By 2020 the three 20s: 20% reduction in greenhouse gas emissions compared to 1990 levels (30% if global agreement) 20% reduction in global primary energy use (through energy efficiency) 20% of renewable energy in the EU's overall mix (minimum target for biofuels of 10% of vehicle fuel) By 2050 : indicative 60 to 80% reduction in GHG

4 Why we need a SET-Plan Technology is vital to achieve our policy objectives Today we are falling short not on a pathway to meet our policy objectives lack of innovation drivers for the industry insufficient energy research budgets in the EU Intrinsic weakness in energy innovation long lead times, incumbent technologies, system inertia no natural market appetite for new energy technologies social acceptance issues and up-front integration costs We need to use the ambition and the targets of the Energy Policy for Europe to create a new European policy for energy technology

5 CO2 emissions reduction needed Technologies that can reduce global CO2 emissions from energy combustion Mt CO Energy savings avoided em issions Fossil fuel switch Renewable energies Nuclear energy 5000 Carbon sequestration 0 Emission of reduction case Source: GCNRS/LEPII-EPE/RIVM/MNP/ICCS-NTUA/CES-KUL study

6 Potential of technologies Carbon Capture & Storage Hydrogen Cars Fusion Fission Concentrated Solar Power Wave Challenge for Implementation Wind Hydropower Energy Efficiency in Buildings Energy Efficiency in Industry (without CHP in industry) Biofuels Energy Efficiency in Transport Cogeneration Geothermal Power Solar Photovoltaics Geothermal Heating Solar Heating & Cooling Demand side technologies Supply side technologies Transport JRC/IE Today Towards Sustainable Energy System Time Horizon

7 Overview of measures Joint strategic planning Steering Group and information system Effective implementation: European Industrial Initiatives: strategic technology alliances European Energy Research Alliance Trans-European Energy Networks and Systems of the Future transition planning Increase in resources, both financial and human Reinforce international cooperation

8 Joint Strategic Planning Need for European governance Steering Group on Strategic Energy Technologies high level representatives from MSs conceive joint actions and make resources available Information system: Technology Map (potentials? impacts? barriers?) Capacities Map (who does what? and internationally?) Key Performance Indicators (KPI) for initiatives/sectors

9 Effective implementation (1) European Industrial Initiatives: European Wind Initiative Solar Europe Initiative Bio-energy Europe Initiative European Electricity Grid Initiative European CO2 capture, transport and storage initiative (Communication in Jan. 2008) Sustainable fission initiative (Gen IV) Fuel cells and hydrogen (JTI on-going) Fusion (ITER on-going) Smart Cities

10 Effective implementation (2) European Energy Research Alliance Building on excellent research teams Structured dialogue in 2008 From collaborating on projects towards implementing European programmes e.g. basic energy science, enabling and breakthrough technologies and advanced energy efficiency Trans-European Energy Networks and Systems of the Future Multidisciplinary approach Plan and develop future infrastructures and policies e.g. electricity, CO2 transport and hydrogen distribution
