We give a voice at the EU level to suppliers of innovativetechnologies to produce electricity, heating and cooling as well asgenerating other products, utilising a multitude of energy sources.
We firmly believe that decarbonised energy conversiontechnologies are crucial contributors to a clean, secure andaffordable energy supply.
Energy Technologies Europe is an association representingtechnology providers of state-of-the-art energy conversiontechnologies, their components and other related energyservices.

The EU has one of the most ambitious energy policies in the world
A renewable energy target
of at least 32% by 2030
A climate neutral Europe by 2050
Why do we need Clean Energy Hubs?
f
Currently in Europe the electricity system relies for approximately 50% on conventional thermal energy.
Conventional thermal generation needs to reach carbon neutrality, fast.

From where do we start?
Conventional thermal48.3%
Nuclear25.6%
Hydro10.3%
Wind11.7%
Solar4.0%
Geothermal & others0.2%

- The EU, cities, utilities and industries have committed to achieving carbon neutrality well before 2050.
- Next to electricity also heating and cooling needs to be decarbonised.
- And we need to help gas become renewable to decarboniseother industries.

Future energy systems will therefore face both periods with a lot of electricity generated (and negative prices) and periods with scarce electricity (and higher prices).

Clean Energy Hubs
At times of abundant electricity and when energy prices are low, Clean Energy Hubs soak up excess electricity from the grid, converting renewable electricity into heat, cold and advanced synthetic fuels.
13
Clean Energy Hubs
At times of scarce electricity and high energy prices,Clean Energy Hubs perform their back up role by generating electricity, heat and cold from a multitude of renewable sources, such as solar thermal, bioenergy and advanced synthetic fuels.
14
Clean Energy Hubs
Clean Energy Hubs gather and link together renewable energy carriers, generation, conversion and storage.
The energy produced by renewable energy sources is processed and sent to the grid in a dispatchableway.
The oversupply of energy is stored, used to produce clean fuels, heating and cooling and thus contributing to the decarbonisation of other sectors.

Clean Energy Hubs: Key Benefits
Energy Efficiency
RES(Renewable Energy Sources)
Alternative Fuels
CCU(Carbon Capture and Utilisation)
Infrastructure
Using and upgrading existing infrastructure and assets, preventing high investment costs.
An increasing carbon price makes CCU more competitive which is in line with the circular economy.
Fuel flexibility allows for fuel switching based on the cost and availability of the specific resource.
More variable renewables will make heat, cold and molecule production more affordable (Power to X).
Cross-sectorial integration improves energy efficiency decreasing input costs and wasted energy.
