4 What is EERA Cooperation of Energy Research Organisations About 200 participating organisations Responsible for EERA Joint Programmes About 3500 professionals full time equivalent -> make it happen ( in kind contribution of roughly ~ 500M ) In principle open to all research organisations Participation is based on own resources Between industry driven and fundamental research About 10% of the participants are going to be from industry Going to become a legal entity 15 Partners ( Executive Committee members ) Responsible for EERA ( Culture and governance ) Launch and review of EERA Joint Programmes ( 15 overall ) Partnership reviewed biannually, first time in 2012 Mission of EERA EERA supports the EU SET-Plan by accelerating the development of energy technologies through joint R&D Mandated by the SET-Plan Steering Group, EERA develops and implements strategic research objectives. EERA reinforces Europe s role by supporting the competitiveness of industry at international level. The joint research efforts will have significant added value and attract key energy research organisations. The relevance of research will be enhanced in close cooperation with Member States, the EC and industry to support the political and industrial SET-PLAN objectives. 4

5 Nonlinear innovation Maturity of Concept Basic research Public finance Targeted research and development Mainly public finance Demonstration and Industrialisation Mainly private finance Cost EERA: joint programming What kind of cooperation can be foreseen? Harmonisation of research programmes Exchange of information Insufficient for EERA Exchange of personnel Common strategy to tackle (new) research questions Too many topics for a single institute Avoid fragmentation, ensure complementary of programmes Agree on who does what (and share results) Facilities Sharing of facilities Building new facilities Owned by multiple institutes A breakthrough 5

9 Energy research programmes of the EU Funding areas Energy efficiency and the rational use of energy (SAVE) Improvement of energy efficiency and the rational use of resources in the industry, products and building sectors. New and renewable resources (ALTENER) Funding is provided to increase the share of renewables in the production of electricity, heat and cooling, and to integrate them in the local energy systems. Examples of supported actions: Tackling non-technological barriers to speed up the introduction of wind energy onto the EU's energy market Developing training schemes for installers of small-scale renewable energy systems. Energy in transport (STEER) Energy savings and energy efficiency in the transport sector, including stimulation of demand for alternative fuels and clean and energy-efficient vehicles. 9

10 Research programmes of the EU LIFE+ Programme Objective:Community environmental policy and legislation, including the integration of the environment into other policies. Financesdemonstration projects bridging the gap between research funding and access to venture capital. Project themes include energy production and distribution, renewable energy technologies, energy-efficiency in different areas as well as the reduction of greenhouse gases. LIFE+ runs from and has a total budget of EUR billion.

HORIZON 2020 WORK PROGRAMME DRAFT contd. In 2015, the following technology-specific challenges have to be addressed: Deep geothermal energy: Testing of enhanced geothermal systems in different geological environments Widespread deployment of enhanced geothermal systems (EGS) needs new and improved models and innovative solutions are needed to routinely create EGS reservoirs with sufficient permeability, fracture orientation and spacing. Cross-fertilisationwith hydrothermal fields and cross-fertilisationwith tight oil and gas fields can be explored. 12

13 HORIZON 2020 WORK PROGRAMME DRAFT Energy Efficiency Technological innovation related to the integration of renewable generation in the industrial and residential sectors can be addressed in the Energy Efficiency call or Smart Cities and Communities call. Improving the energy efficiency of district heating and cooling networks is addressed in the Energy Efficiency call.
