1 Parallel session on Clean Energy and Sustainable Transport Fabrizio Fabrizi ENEA

2 Background: Joint Programme on CSP Vision and general structure of the Joint Programme As far as solar thermal electricity (STE) generation is concerned, the installed capacity in Europe is expected to be of 2 GW by 2012 and around 30 GW by 2020, but there is room for many technical improvements yet, mainly dealing with increasing efficiencies and decreasing costs. European industry is leading, but further efforts are necessary to keep this status. Objectives as per Solar Thermal Electricity-EII Reduction of generation, operation and maintenance costs Improvement of operational flexibility and energy dispatchability Reduction of the environmental and water-use footprint Advanced concepts and designs Number of subprogrammes: 4 Concentrated Solar Power plus Desalination (Leader CIEMAT) Thermal Energy Storage for CSP plants (Leader ENEA) Accelerated Aging of Materials (Leader DLR) Solar Thermo-chemical Production of Fuels (Leader PSI)
