11 Issues drivers Global energy projections mean that fossil fuels will be required for several decades Global Climate Change (up to and post 2050) targets will need full range of solutions REN will become significant in the energy mix only in time - portfolio approach needed Acceptability of Nuclear? Developing countries (e.g. China) have to be engaged if GCC is really to be tackled Security of Supply implications Economics!

13 Co-ordination ordination is needed 25 Member States Up to 25 national programmes Unavoidable significant overlap Virtual decrease of critical mass Decrease of competitiveness Need of co-ordination of National Programmes on the EU level

14 European Research Area The EC address the fragmentation of the EU Research through the general concept of co-ordination on the level of Politics Programmes Projects ERA-NET Art. 169

15 ERA-NET Scheme Mechanism introduced under EC FP6 ERA-NET scheme possible to take a two stage approach Specific Supported Action (SSA) followed by a Co-ordination Action (CA) to be initiated by (quasi) government organisations of Member States

16 German COORETEC Roadmap Goals along timetable SPP: Steam Power Plant CC: Combined Cycle Power Plant V i s i o n SPP η=53% CC η=65% Hybridsolutions Zero- Emission Power Plant Future Goals 2010 SPP η =51% GaS η =62% Gasification Air seperation Oxyfuels 2005 Efficiency Proirity- decrease Emissions Priority-Economic efficiency CO 2 Sequestration Priority- zero Emission Base Short-term Medium-term Long-term R&D depth (Source: COORETEC-Report)

17 Emerging Carbon Abatement Technologies Strategies UK Carbon Abatement Technology Strategy Scope of CAT Strategy Improved conversion efficiency Less carbon intensive fuels (co-firing) Carbon dioxide capture and storage (CSS) Not just coal but extended to other fossil fuels

18 Technical Scope Framework of Funding Schemes Recent status of possible funding Low or Near Zero Emission Power Plant Precombustion CO2 capture High efficient gas- and steam turbines High efficient power plants Postcombustion CO2 capture CO2 geological storage Co-finance FP6+ Co-finance EU member states Co-finance FP6+

19 Clean Power Generation Technology for Europe A Coordination Action (CA ERA-NET) Co-ordinated by Forschungszentrum Jülich GmbH / Projektträger Jülich Hubert H. Höwener

20 FENCO Objective Set up of an ERA-NET for the development of a technology path that gives the opportunity to share knowledge and funding options for a step-by-step improvement of the fossil energy technologies. This ERA-NET will link the R&D and demonstration needs of EU member states, the EU industry and academia on an extended European level to describe a technology path towards low and near zero emission power plants.

25 FENCO Only Part of a general Picture Opportunity to create a critical mass activity in Europe Needs to be part of an overall strategic framework addressing clean fossil fuels as a key element of the energy portfolio Possible Technology Platform for Clean Fossil Fuels Co-ordination Action FENCO-ERA.NET Improve Efficiency Zero Emission including Capture Fuels Cells Hydrogen Technology Platform for Hydrogen Co-ordination Action ERA-NET: HyCo Art. 169 Transport and storage CO2 Protocol and related issues Use and EOR CSLF IPHE

26 Article 169 of the Treaty : In implementing the multiannual framework programme, the Community may make provision, in agreement with the Member States concerned, for participation in research and development programmes undertaken by several Member States, including participation in the structures created for the execution of those programmes

27 ERA-NET and Article 169 ERA-NET Co-ordination and cooperation between national research programmes Community funding : coordination costs of strategic activities developed by programme managers All fields of S&T Light decision making process Article 169 Beyond co-ordination and cooperation of national research programmes Community funding : strong financial contribution of research and coordination activities FP6 S&T priority fields Heavy decision making process: co-decision procedure

28 Technology Platforms - concept Stakeholders getting together to define a Strategic Research Agenda on a number of strategically important issues with high societal relevance where achieving Europe s future growth, competitiveness and sustainable objectives is dependent upon major research and technological advances in the medium to long term.

29 Technology Platforms in FP 7 Strategic Research Agendas of technology platforms will be used to help define research priorities mostly using FP6-type instruments In a few cases, the scale of the challenge justifies a different approach: Joint Technology Initiatives

30 ETN EURACOAL European Technology Platform Clean Power Concept

31 CSLF: What it is? A US initiative, 17 countries participate, including the UK, Italy, Germany, France and Norway, plus the EC. (Netherlands and Denmark have applied) The charter to promote research and technological development in CO2 C+S, signed in Washington on June 25, 2003 Mission: The CSLF is a framework for international cooperation in research and development for the separation, capture, transportation and storage of CO2

32 CSLF: Members

33 CSLF: Organisation An organization for governments Agreed and monitored at Ministerial-level Two working groups (chaired by the US) Policy Group which guides the operation of the CSLF Technical Group which considers and recommend technical projects and actions A Secretariat (US/DoE based) provides administrative support An advisory group to interface with projects and stakeholders may be formed

34 CSLF: Activities Networking and Information Exchange about technical and institutional considerations Promote joint research, development and demonstration Evaluating technological and institutional barriers and identifying means to overcome them Creating public awareness

35 Role of Stakeholders Providing advice and counsel to the CSLF Sharing needs and concerns related to carbon capture and storage Conducting the R&D to develop the technology Working to make the technology commercial Ensuring C&S becomes economic and is financed Identifying and helping to remove institutional barriers Participating in outreach

36 CSLF: Outcome Main outcomes so far: A technology road map 10 ongoing projects recognized as CSLF projects A report on legal and regulatory issues

37 Critical Issues Effective stakeholder involvement in CSLF processes Establish common basis to develop legal and regulatory frameworks Needs for engaging (financing) emerging economies Cooperation vs. Competition: effective knowledge and information sharing arising from recognised projects and cross-fertilisation CSLF project monitoring and cross fertilisation, roadmap update and identification of new projects

38 Thank You The solution will not be as easy Co-ordinated effort is necessary to come emission free power generation
