3 The evolution of the Policy Context (Lisbon Treaty, December 2009) 3 Commission flagship initiative Resource efficient Europe to decouple economic growth and resources use Towards an energy strategy for Europe (DG ENER) Towards a new Action Plan (spring Council 2011) Roadmap for low carbon energy system by 2050 (DG ENER) 80-95% CO 2 reduction (2050) Transport Whitepaper ( ) (DG MOVE) Decarbonisation of Transport as one main priority Beyond 20% CO 2 reduction by 2020 (DG CLIMA)

4 Low Carbon Society: 4 pillars 4 Policy Demand ENER, MOVE, CLIMA, ENV, ENTR, INFSO, RTD, Energy Transport Sustainable Production & Consumption Climate Change Mitigation (SET-Plan) (STT-Plan) (SPC & SIP Action Plan) (Energy & Climate package) JRC Response Energy Competence Centre Transport Competence Centre Env. Technologies Competence Centre Climate Change Competence Centre (Information System) (Information System) (Bureaus) (Modelling Platform)

5 Energy Competence Centre: developments 5 Other technologies (CCS, rd gen biomass) 3 rd E.E. Bureau: - Buildings - ICT - Transport - Industry Energy storage Electricity grids (EII) Socio Economic Energy Modelling Market System Analysis Technology Forecasting scenarios Renewables (solar, bioenergy) End-use Technologies Buildings Smart Cities Gas & Oil Networks & infrastructures Techno Economic Assessment Innovative Technologies (EIIs) Efficiency Security Sector Analysis/Modelling Already deployed Future expansion

6 Emission Scenarios DG ENER, CLIMA 60 6 Gt CO 2 -equivalent Residential & services Transport Industry Other conversion Power Sector Remaining emissions Impacts: Roadmap for low carbon energy system by 2050 DG ENER Limiting Global Climate Change to 2 degrees Celsius - The way ahead for 2020 and beyond DG CLIMA Find the niches for GHG emission cuts JRC competences in: Techno-economic analyses Market analyses Environmental analyses enable integrated economic assessment of energy-related issues and future energy scenarios Gt CO Identify the mitigation technologies avoided emissions Energy savings Fossil fuel switch Renewable energies Nuclear energy Carbon sequestration GHG reduction scenario

7 Smart Grids and Trans-European Networks for electricity DG ENER 7 Trans-European Networks for electricity: - costs and priorities for their development - challenges and vulnerabilities of their operation Smart Grids: Cost-benefits of Smart Grids projects Smart Grids experimental work JRC-IE for DG ENER JRC will provide risk assessment / reliability analysis of smart grids and technology integration (storage, ICT)

8 Biofuels: POLICY output / impact DG ENER 8 Biofuels Coordinated Action The JRC reports calculate extra lands necessary to reach the EU 10% biofuels target and associated extra GHG emissions The calculation has still high uncertainties! June 2010 (JRC-IPTS) July 2010 (JRC-IE) September 2010 (JRC-IES/IE) Impact: Commission s report to EP and Council on indirect land use change (ILUC)

9 Low energy and positive power buildings & energy-efficient industry DG ENTR/ENER 9 Long experience in energy efficiency analysis / policy support: Electricity consumption /end use efficiency Energy performance of buildings White Certificates and ESCOs Available technologies / barriers to implementation Covenant of Mayors initiative Technology competences Environmental and economic competences ICT Energy efficiency Bureau for energy efficiency policy support in products, buildings, industry and transport

10 SET-Plan Information system (SETIS) 10 Wind SMART Cities European Industrial Initiatives CCS Bioenergy Fission Technology and Capacities Maps Impact Assessment of governance Setup of SETIS PRIORITIES Solar Electricity Grid 2009 PLANNING IMPLEMENTATION Roadmaps Investment Gap SETIS Website TA2 and TA1 encompass sector-wise competences in techno-economic, market and environmental analyses enabling integrated Monitoring / Review and Impact Analysis The SETIS success as an indispensable tool for SET-Plan will become the model for information systems in other fields, starting with Transport (STTP)
