Horizon 2020 - three pillars: 1. Excellent science (ERC, FET, MarieCurie, Infrastructures): Identification and development of new cutting edge technologies and materials 2. Industrial leadership (SMEs, ICT, Materials): Innovative and efficient solutions to the technical challenges, including proprietary technologies, allowing European industry to stay in a global competitive and leading position 3. Societal challenges: Broader look at the technological and societal challenges striving for a multi-disciplinary innovative solution allowing Europe to become smart and sustainable Societal challenges (proposed) : (million euro, 2014-2020) Health, demographic change and wellbeing 8 033 Food security, sustainable agriculture, marine and maritime research & the bioeconomy 4 152 Secure, clean and efficient energy* 5 782 Smart, green and integrated transport 6 802 Climate action, resource efficiency and raw materials 3 160 Inclusive, innovative and secure societies 3 819 *Additional 1 788m for nuclear safety and security from the Euratom Treaty activities (2014-2018). Does not include ITER. Renewable sources Electrical vehicles Low environmental impact Cyber security 4
Energy challenge activities: (1) Reducing energy consumption and carbon footprint by smart and sustainable use; (2) Low-cost, low-carbon electricity supply; (3) Alternative fuels and mobile energy sources; (4) A single, smart European electricity grid; (5) New knowledge and technologies; (6) Robust decision making and public engagement; (7) Market uptake of energy innovation. demand side management RES integration pan-european grid integration technology development market deployment of smart grids A single, smart European electricity grid: Activities shall focus on research, development and full scale demonstration of new grid technologies, including storage, systems and market designs to plan, monitor, control and safely operate interoperable networks in an open, decarbonised, climate resilient and competitive market, under normal and emergency conditions. 5
Horizon 2020 implementation : SET Plan as the basis for energy research & innovation Technologies: Solar, wind, bioenergy, CCS, nuclear, geothermal, marine Systems: Electricity grids & storage, Fuel cells & hydrogen, Smart cities & communities Improved coordination with programmes, initiatives, policies National programmes Structural and cohesion funds for smart specialisation, e.g. energy. Connecting Europe Facility to complete missing links in energy infrastructure Covering the full chain from research to market The Electricity Grids in Horizon 2020 (tentative) Partnerships to cover the full innovation chain Horizon 2020, member state programmes Industry leadership and involvement Longer term research, Research Alliance Link with deployment initiatives infrastructure, structural funds EEGI evolution Building on existing links transmission - distribution Implementation plan from networks open consultation Complemented by T&D technology, storage technology? Assessment of the SET Plan Technology and system priorities Best practice of initiatives 6
Conclusions: Horizon 2020 developing, to start 1/1/2014 SET Plan as the basis for energy R&I Covering the full chain of innovation with appropriate mechanisms Positive experiences of EEGI to be built upon Looking forward to continued valuable contributions from EDSO, EURELECTRIC and their members Thank you Patrick.Van-Hove@ec.europa.eu http://ec.europa.eu/research/energy/index_en.cfm http://www.smartgrids.eu/ http://www.gridplus.eu/ http://ec.europa.eu/energy/gas_electricity/smartgrids/smartgrids_en.htm Research and Innovation 7
