1 EU R&I Energy policy Transforming the future European energy system Andreea Strachinescu Head of Unit New energy technologies and innovation DG Energy Bucharest, 21 st of November 2017 #H2020SCC1 Energy

2 2 EU energy R&I fundamentals Energy Union SET-Plan Clean energy for all Europeans Smart Cities H2020 Grids & storage

3 European Challenges Modernise our economy by bringing down greenhouse gas emissions while creating jobs and growth The EU as the world leader on renewable energy and placing energy efficiency first based on new technologies and industrial leadership Energy Union Ensure a socially fair transition where regions, cities and consumers play an active role #H2020SCC1 3

4 4 The 5 dimensions of the Energy Union Energy security, solidarity and trust Energy Efficiency first A fully integrated energy market Secure, sustainable, competitive, affordable energy for all Europeans! Decarbonising the economy Research, Innovation and Competitiveness to develop technological leadership

5 Energy union 2016 A year of Delivery 30 th of November 2016 Clean energy for all Europeans package: efficiency and consumers first. Clean energy Photo credit: Fotolia 5

6 6 The Strategic Energy Technology (SET) Plan Adoption in 2008 Set-up of European Industrial Initiatives for technologies and coordination of the research actions of EU and Member States for technologies with market impact up to 2020 and beyond Integrated SET Plan Communication (2015) Technologies and innovation Platforms (industry and Member States) and four core priorities (RES, consumers, energy efficiency, sustainable transport supporting the Energy Union) + CCS and nuclear 10 Key Actions

7 Strategic EnergyTechnology Plan (SET-Plan) 7

8 The Strategic Energy Technology Plan (SET-Plan) Overall objective: Accelerating the development and deployment of low-carbon technologies through cooperation among EU countries, companies, research institutions, and the EU itself, based on common priorities, targets and actions. Defining priorities SET-Plan Communication 2015 Priority Actions: 1+2. Improving performance and reducing cost of renewable energy 3. Smart solutions for consumers 4. Smart Resilient and Secure Energy System 5. Energy Efficiency in Buildings 6. Energy Efficiency in Industry 7. Batteries and e-mobility 8. Renewable Fuels and Bioenergy 9. Carbon Capture Utilisation and Storage 10. Nuclear Safety Setting targets Declaration of Intents Implementation Plans (IP) Temporary Working Groups Execution of IPs

9 International Collaboration Mission Innovation Overall objective: scale breakthrough technologies cost reductions double public clean energy R&I over 5 years.
