2 Research and innovation funding: multiannual framework programmes

3 Million FP7 energy budget evolution ( ) Total (non-nuclear) : 2.3 billion Available annual budget for FP RTD ENER contribution to the JTI FCH

4 Breakdown of FP7 energy funding (calls )

5 FP7 projects Compact Seasonal Thermal Storage (call 2011) Solar Thermochemical Compact Storage System Combined development of compact thermal energy storage technologies

6 Horizon 2020 EU R&I Programme Following and extending the ideas and successes of FP7 Reflects the policy priorities of the Europe 2020 strategy:. fostering smart, sustainable and inclusive Growth & Jobs Key drivers: research and market roll-out based on innovation

7 Horizon 2020 Work Programme 2-year work programme Challenge-based approach (not prescribing technology options) Cross-cutting actions Technology readiness levels (TRL) (better scoping of targeted activities) Funding rates given by nature of actions: Research and Innovation actions: max. 100% Innovation actions: max. 70% Coordination and support actions: max. 100%

8 Horizon 2020 Societal Challenges: Health, demographic change and wellbeing Food security, sustainable agriculture and forestry, marine and maritime and inland water research, and the Bioeconomy; Secure, clean and efficient energy; Smart, green and integrated transport; Climate action, environment, resource efficiency and raw materials; Europe in a changing world inclusive, innovative and reflective societies; Secure societies protecting freedom and security of Europe and its citizens

9 Horizon 2020 Challenge is designed to support the transition to a reliable, sustainable and competitive energy system Reduce energy consumption - Reduce carbon footprint - Boost renewables - Boost integration - Increase energy efficiency - Decrease energy costs Total budget 6 billion 4 Focus Areas: Efficiency Smart Cities and Communities Competitive Low-Carbon SMEs & Fast Track to Innovation Part B other actions
