The Energy Sustainability Find Themes

The Sustainability Energy Fund SENER-­‐CONACYT (FSE) is a mechanism created in 2008 by theMexicanGovernment to fund and foster:

• Scientific Research and  applied technological research;• The adoption,  innovation,  assimilation and  technologicaldevelopment;• Energy Efficiency, renewable energy, clean technology and diversification of primary energy

sources.

IDEAS  BID

•Increase  National  capabilities  in  energy  related  topics,  to  •Foster  research  and  technological  development  and  incentivises  innovation  as  well  as  •To  provide  support  for  the  formation  of  specialized  human  resources.

With  such  activities,  the  operation  of  the  FSE  helps  to  maintain  closer  links  between  the  scientific  and  academia  community  with  industry.

By  supporting  these  projects,  the  FSE  seeks  to:

• During  this  year,  the  Ministry  of  Energy  (SENER)  in  conjunction  with  CONACYT  launched  three  cluster-­‐type  Mexican  Energy  Innovation  Centres  (CEMIEs)  on  Renewable  Energy.

• The CEMIEs are  expected to providea  platform to launch and  growan unprecedented portfolio  of  low carbon initiatives.

• These Centres  are  not physical centres  but a  virtual  networkof  institutions and  firmsworking together.

The CEMIES  havebeen awarded a  guaranteed 4  year funding.    

Altogether,  the three first CEMIES  have recieved an equivalentof 70  million sterling pounds,which represents anunprecedentedinvestment on this topics in  Mexico.

STRATEGY  SHIFT  TO  LARGE  PROJECTS  IN  2014

2013  CEMIES

• Call for proposals launched onMay 2013:  CEMIE-­‐Geo,  CEMIE-­‐Solar  and  CEMIE-­‐Wind.

• Formalization:  february 2014.

• CEMIE-­‐Geo  Kick off:  february 2014.• CEMIE-­‐Sol  Kick off:  march 2014.• CEMIE-­‐WindKick off:  april 2014.

• Resources:  AroundUSD  $120  million for the 3  CEMIEs.• CEMIE-­‐Geo  Kick off:  USD$70.8  million• CEMIE-­‐Sol  Kick off:  USD$33.2  million.• CEMIE-­‐WindKick off:  USD$16  million.

In Febrary 2014, the FSE established three New Mexican InnovationCentres in Energy (CEMIEs):

A) SOLAR: a consortia of 57 members, 47 research institutions and 10 firms. Led by UNAM ´s Renewable Energy Institute.

B) WIND: formed of 32 members in the consortia, 22 researchinstitutions and 10 national and international firms. Led y Electric Research Institute.

C) GEOTHERMAL: formed of 21 members (12 institutions and 9 firms)Led by CICESE, Ensenada.

In September 2014, the FSE open a call for bids for two New MexicanInnovation Centres (CEMIES):

A) OCEAN ENERGY: Winner announced in December 2015.B) BIOENERGY: Winners announced in December 2015.

ENERGY  INNOVATION  CENTRES  (CEMIES)

This year two New Centres will be funded:

A) CCS. Call OPEN until May 31st 2016. 25 Million £

B) SMART GRIDS call OPEN until May 31st 2016.

OTHER  ACTIVITIES

•The Energy Sustainability Fund (FSE) from April 2014 this year has been actively seeking to enhance cooperation with the EU in all relevant areas of related to the Fund.

•In particular through joint calls and bilateral agreements on all thematic areas of the CEMIES.

•Mexico through this Fund will seek further cooperation on energy topicsboth for research, development, adoption, and innovative activities.

•In addition, Mexico announced in October a major programme of Training and Human Resource Development in Energy Topics, byoffering up to 60,000 scholarships to Mexican Nationals from technical topostdoctoral levels.

INTERNATIONAL  COOPERATION

•The main areas of cooperation are related to renewable energy, but also development of clean technology, and to establish mechanisms to share best practices and knowledge exchange , innovation capability building, and innovation management.•CHAIRS•POSTDOCS•PHDS•MASTERS•RESEARCH+INNOV PROJECTS

•Workshops, research visits, conferences and symposia should be planned for all relevant areas of cooperation in energy.

•29 FEB CCS workshop in MEXICO CITY for CEMIE. Participants include Sheffield, Edinburgh, Aberdeen

• Further diffussion of the opportunities of participation cooperation. •New areas of cooperation opportunities and topics with the EU Commission on Energy are led by the Sustainability Energy Fund of the Ministry of Energy-Conacyt.
