FP6 - Slide 3


Factors Factors contributing tocontributing to ‘unsustainability’‘unsustainability’

Growing dependence on imported fossil fuels

Inability to curb rising energy and transport demand

Congestion of the transport system Inexorable growth in demand for oil in

transport and growing CO2 emissions

Characteristics of Short Term Characteristics of Short Term ActivitiesActivities

CRITERIA DG TREN

Timeframe Short term projects which will lead to marketpenetration in view of 2010 energy policy objectives(i.e. market deployment focus).

TypicalPartners

End users, grid operators, utilities and industries(including SME’s) who have a clear interest tocommercialise the products. Universities andresearch centres in a minority.

Policy Projects aimed mainly at the implementation of EUenergy policy and to serve associated EU policies.

Research vsDemonstration

To develop and/ or demonstrate full scale industrialexamples of technology implementation anddeployment (i.e. clear demonstration focus).

Risk Risks associated with the integration of new andexisting technologies at a full commercial scale,including user interfaces and financial investmentrisks (i.e. market/ financial risks).

Typical SupportLevels

Projects supported at the level of (max) 35% (i.e. notto interfere with markets).

FP6 - Slide 9


6.1.i Research activities having an impact in the short and medium term:

1. Clean energy, in particular renewable energy sources and their integration in the energy system, including storage, distribution and use

2. Energy savings and energy efficiency, including those to be achieved through the use of renewable raw materials

3. Alternative motor fuels

Priority 6.1 Sustainable energy systems

FP6 - Slide 10


1/3 Clean energy, in particular renewable energy sources and their integration in the energy systems, including storage, distribution and use

Cost effective supply of renewable energies

Large scale integration of renewable energy sources and energy efficiency

FP6 - Slide 11


2/3 Energy savings and energy efficiency, including those to be achieved through the use of renewable raw materials

Eco-buildings High energy performance

buildings/communities

Polygeneration Electricity, heat and cold from:

conventional energy sources FC, H2 and other alternative energy sources

Optimisation of decentralised generation

FP6 - Slide 12


3/3 Alternative motor fuels Focus on bio-fuels, natural gas and H2

Some topics: Large scale integration of alternative fuels in

transport system Cost-effective and safe storage of

alternative fuels Strategies and tools to monitor and stimulate

demand Strategies for integrated city-wide packages

of measures (see CIVITAS)

FP6 - Slide 14


6.2.i Developing environmentally friendly transport systems and means of transport :

1. New technologies and concepts for all surface transport modes (road, rail and waterborne)

2. Advanced design and production techniques

6.2.ii Making surface transport safer, more effective and more competitive :

3. Re-balancing and integrating different modes of transport

4. Increasing road, rail and waterborne safety and avoiding traffic congestion

Priority 6.2 Sustainable surface transport

FP6 - Slide 15


Gradually break the link between growth of transport and economic growth, principally in three ways:

shift the balance of transport modes eliminate bottlenecks place users at the heart of transport policy
