1 European Strategic Energy Technology Plan (SET-Plan) Wiktor RALDOW European Commission Bern - May 6 th, 2009 A complex policy jigsaw Taxation Targets ETS Global Cap&Trade External Energy Policy Development Policy Internal Market Technology State Aid Competition SET-Plan 1

2 Why we need a SET-Plan (1) 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 Why we need a SET-Plan (2) Europe should lead the world growing international competition MSs working alone will struggle mastery of technology vital to competitiveness Time is of the essence decisions taken now will have lasting consequences cost of inaction will be much higher in the long run We need to use the ambition and the targets of the Energy Policy for Europe to create a new European policy for energy technology 2

8 Energy Technology Summit Building on the Paris SET-Plan conference last October under FR Presidency in the Autumn 2009 under SW Presidency to take stock, to engage industry, researchers and international partners to launch EIIs and EERA joint programmes European Industrial Initiatives Fuel cells and hydrogen (JTI on-going) Fusion (ITER on-going) new European Industrial Initiatives: European Wind Initiative Solar Europe Initiative Bio-energy Europe Initiative European Electricity Grid Initiative European CO2 capture, transport and storage initiative Sustainable fission initiative (Gen IV) 8

9 EII workflow Objectives Activities Resources Structure First decide on the objectives and activities Finance & structure based on the objectives and activities Monitoring the progress Key Performance Indicators No single, pre-determined model and structure of implementation Timeline for setting up the initiative: 1 2 years EII process Industry proposal developed by Technology Platforms with the aid of the EC Workshop with Member States agree objectives and main activities Decisions on MS participation and modalities: concept of Joint Programming Definition of model and structure of implementation 9

10 EERA key objectives : EU Energy Research Alliance To conceive and implement Joint Programmes of research in support of the SET-Plan priorities. To work towards a long term, durable integration of excellent but dispersed research capacities across the EU. To develop links and sustained partnerships with industry. To develop training, education and outreach activities.

11 EERA progress EERA Progress: Signature of a Declaration of Intent by 10 leading institutes on the 27 October 2008 (CEA, CIEMAT, CRES, ECN, ENEA, INETI, Juelich, UK ERC, RISOE, VTT) supported by EUA and EUROHORCS and facilitated by EC Nomination of a Speaker of the EERA : Ton Hoff from ECN Creation of an EERA secretariat (CEA, ECN, ENEA, Juelich, RISOE) for the organisation of EERA meetings and EERA workshops EERA progress (2) EERA Progress: Key areas identified (CCS,Wind Solar PV and solar thermal, Second generation bio fuels, Materials for nuclear, Fuel cells, Smart grids, Geothermal power, Marine applications, More to follow.) for future JPs First pilot workshops organised on CCS, CSP, Wind, geothermal energy to test the methodology and explore the potential to work together... Next step : Definition of a clear governance structure (a two level structure is favoured: a Founding members Group of up to 15 members to drive the process and a Programme Level which will be open to any participant) 11

12 Future energy systems 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 1st phase Coordination Action under FP7 currently under negotiation Increase in resources Better use of available resources through joint strategic planning and European initiatives Communication on financing low carbon technologies [announced for end 2008] Address resource needs and sources Possibility of a new European mechanism/fund for (e.g.) industrial-scale demonstration Human resources vital to build capacity (cannot just throw money at the problem) 12

13 Recent developments Recovery Plan: 2.4b for gas and electricity interconnections; 1.05b for CCS; 565m for offshore wind Also, 3 news PPPs on clean cars, energy in buildings and future manufacturing systems 300m EUAs from ETS New Entrants Reserve for demonstration of CCS and RES (potentially 6-9b ) MSs commitment to use 50% of auctioning allowances for transition to a low carbon economy incl. R&D Council (Copenhagen process): doubling of global energyrelated RD&D by 2012 and increasing it to four times its current level by 2020 Communication now for June? International cooperation Developed countries safety, public acceptance, longer-term frontier research Developing and emerging economies helping sustainable development and creating opportunities for EU industry EIIs and EERA will help rationalise our INCO activities EU speaks with one voice in international fora 13
