2 Europe s emission reduction goals 2 Key Climate and Energy Objectives for 2020: 20% 10% - reduction of CO2 emissions - share of renewable energies in the overall EU energy consumption - reduction in the use of primary energy by improving energy efficiency binding minimun target share of biofuels in overall EU transport petrol and diesel consumption. Mandatory Member State targets and indicative trajectory Burden-share National Action Plans containing targets for transport, electricity, heating and cooling. Biofuels Sustainability Criteria Beyond 2020, towards a low carbon society

3 Memberstates contribution 3 Trajectory to reach the share of the RE in the EU: From: PV Status Report 2011, JRC.

5 Policy support 5 Ambitious targets for a sustainable, secure and competitive energy system. Energy Technologies have to become clearer, safer and more affordable. European Strategic Energy Technology Plan (SET-Plan) 2020: - reach its goals, providing a framework to accelerate the development and deployment of cost-effective low carbon technologies. 2050: -is targeted at limiting climate change to a global temperature rise of no more than 2 C (reduce EU greenhouse gas emissions by 80-95%)

6 Strategic Energy Technology Plan 6 The SET-Plan is the technology pillar of the EU's ENERGY & CLIMATE CHANGE policy Goals: Accelerating knowledge development, technology transfer and up-take; Maintaining EU industrial leadership on low-carbon energy technologies; Fostering science for transforming energy technologies to achieve the 2020 Energy and Climate Change goals; Contributing to the worldwide transition to a low carbon economy by 2050.

7 SET-Plan implementation mechanisms 7 Implementation is via: Steering group: defines overall strategy and reinforces coherence between national, European and International efforts. SET-Plan Information System, provides up-to-date information on the state of energy technologies, human and financial resources. European Industrial Initiatives European Energy Research Alliance

8 European Industrial Initiatives 8 Industrial Initiatives Smart Cities Fuel Cells - H2 Wind CCS Bioenergy Fission Solar Electricity Grid 7 European Industrial Initiatives Wind Solar Electricity Grids Carbon Capture & Storage Nuclear Fission Bio-energy Smart Cities - Industry, academia, Member States and the Commission (public-private partnerships). - Focus on technologies for which the barriers, scale of investment and risk can best be tackled collectively. - Technology Roadmap and Implementation Plan

9 The Solar Europe Initiative 9 Activities: - Focuses on photovoltaics and concentrating solar power technologies. - Make technologies more competitive, facilitate large scale penetration and integration in the the electricity grid. -12% of European electricity demand by 2020 (PV) R&D programme for PV and CSP: enhance performance and lifetime of PV systems and components; reducing generation, O&M costs, minimising environmental footprint. PV pilot production plants with innovative manufacturing processes. Demonstration projects of power production in decentralised applications, building integrated, centralised power plants at industrial scale.

10 Technology Roadmap: Solar Industrial Initiative 10

11 European Energy Research Alliance 11 -Working since 2008 to align individual research organisation R&D activities to the needs of the SET-Plan priorities, and to establish a joint programming framework at EU level. - 2nd Strategic Research Agenda (by Photovoltaic Technology Platform): research targets Typical turn-key price for 100kW system (2011 /W, excl. VAT) Typical electricity generation costs, Southern Europe (2011 /kwh) Today Long term potential Typical system energy payback time, Southern Europe (years) <0.5 < kw commercial roof system, Italy PR of 80%, yield of 1440 kwh/kw 25 year lifetime, discount rate of 6.5% Current and 2020 values consistent with SEII KPIs

12 PV Status Report: Installed Capacity 12 40,000 Installations [MWp] Cumulative Photovoltaic I 35,000 30,000 25,000 20,000 15,000 10,000 5,000 Rest of Europe Italy Spain Germany Rest of World China United States Japan

13 PV Status Report: Market Analysis PV Production Champion: China, 10.6 GW 44% of world production PV Installation Champion: Europe, 13.5 GW 78% of World (29 GW cumulative) Asia: 72% of World PV production Europe: 75% of World s grid-connected Installation World Production: 23.5 GWp World Grid Connected: 17.5 GWp 2010 Insta alled [MWp] Europe USA Japan Installs more RoW World Produces more Produced [MWp] China

14 Research and innovation 14 EC Instruments 7 th Framework Programme (research, development and demonstration projects) , 172m have been used for PV related projects. - next programme under Horizon 2020 initiative is underway. Intelligent Energy Europe (projects to reduce nontechnological barriers) NER300 (New Entrants Reserve of the EU Emissions Trading Scheme)

15 Remarks and conclusions 15 Decarbonising the economy will neither be easy nor cheap. Policies and initiatives from EC are putting in place to reach the goals.
