EU Energy Roadmap 2050
• The SET-Plan adopted in November 2007 is the technology pillar of the EU's energy and climate change policy
• Objective is to accelerate the development of low carbon technologies leading to their market take-up
• Strategy: a Research and Innovation chain approach (from ideas to market) and a supply chain approach (from materials to system integration and energy services) - critical for a EU world-wide industrial leadership and to develop EU solutions that are fit for purpose to the EU 2050 vision

SET-Plan (4)
SET-Plan (5) • The SET plan has changed the way Energy research is performed in Europe
• Moving toward Joint Actions between EC and MSs such as ERA-NET+ on bioenergy, up-coming ERA-NET+ on wind, ERA-NET on solar energy.
• MSs taking leadership to synchronise their calls ('Berlin Model'). • Proposal in FP7 WP 2013 to support Integrated Research Programmes.
• Increased EU support to Energy research (FP6, FP7 and Horizon 2020):
• But not enough… need for partnerships to pool resources (estimated from EUR
3 bn to 8 bn/year public & private to reach the 2020 SET Plan objectives)
• Horizon 2020 can catalyse this change
Horizon 2020 proposal: - EUR 6.5 bn (current prices) for the challenge 'Secure, Clean, and Efficient Energy' for 2014-2020
- EUR 1 bn for fission and fusion activities + EUR 0.7 bn (JRC) for 2014-2018 (ITER financing not part of H2020)

Horizon 2020: an opportunity (1)
Energy research and innovation, an important part of Horizon 2020:
• Included as a key challenge 'Secure, clean and efficient
energy' under the societal challenges' block of Horizon 2020
• Separate but complementary programme for nuclear energy activities adopted under the Euratom Treaty
• Important elements in the other pillars of H2020 (ICT, materials, bio-energy etc)
• Objective: to make the transition to a reliable, sustainable and competitive energy system, in the face of increasingly scarce resources, increasing energy needs and climate change.
• Broad lines of activities:
(1) Reducing energy consumption and carbon footprint by smart and sustainable use;
(2) Low-cost, low-carbon electricity supply;
(3) Alternative fuels and mobile energy sources;
(4) A single, smart European electricity grid;
(5) New knowledge and technologies;
(6) Robust decision making and public engagement;
(7) Market uptake of energy innovation.
Horizon 2020: an opportunity (2)
Key challenge 'secure, clean and efficient energy‘ (1)
• Support the implementation of the SET-Plan: • SET-Plan roadmaps, implementation plans and governance structure
• Partnering with European stakeholders important to share resources and implement jointly:
• Existing EIIs may be turned into formalised PPP (case by case basis) • Support may be given, including with MSs, to alliances of public research
performers, in particular, the EERA • International coordination actions shall support the SET-Plan
• SETIS mobilised to develop, together with stakeholders, KPIs
• Improve coordination of relevant Union Programmes, initiatives and policies (e.g. Cohesion policy and the ETS mechanisms)

Key challenge 'secure, clean and efficient energy‘ (3)
Complementarities and cross-cutting actions: • Energy research and innovation to be implemented across
the Horizon 2020
• Strong synergies needed with the other societal challenges as well as with the other parts of Horizon 2020 such as 'Excellence Science' and 'Industrial leadership'
• A strong link with the EIT needed to expand the knowledge, competence and innovation base and to accelerate the diffusion of low-carbon technologies into national research, education and innovation systems
Horizon 2020: an opportunity (4)
Euratom Programme (2014 – 2018) • Indirect actions:
(1) Support safe operation of nuclear systems;
(2) Contribute to the development of solutions for the management of ultimate nuclear waste;
(3) Support the development and sustainability of nuclear competences at Union level;
(4) Foster radiation protection;
(5) Move toward demonstration of feasibility of fusion as a power source by exploiting existing and future fusion facilities;
(6) Lay the foundations for future fusion power plants by developing materials, technologies and conceptual design;
(7) Promote innovation and industrial competitiveness;
(8) Ensure availability and use of research infrastructures of pan-European relevance.
• Direct actions: (1) Improve nuclear safety and security;
(2) Raising excellence in the nuclear science base for standardisation;
(3) Foster knowledge management, education and training;
(4) Support the policy of the Union on nuclear safety and security and the related Union legislation.

Thank you for your attention!
Key messages • Long term vision (strategy 20-20-20, Energy Roadmap 2050, etc.) • Need for an energy mix encompassing a wide range of low carbon
energy technologies • Importance of research at EU level
(new technologies, system integration, large-scale demos) • Importance of an efficient organisation at EU level = Horizon 2020 an
opportunity (SET Plan, partnerships, international cooperation) • WP 2013 as a bridge to Horizon 2020
