2020 targets: the three 20%

2050 target: developed countries should cut their GHG emissions by 80% by 2050 - G8 in Aquila

Today’s EU primary energy supply: 80% dependent on fossil fuels (coal, oil, gas, the main sources of CO2 emission)

A critical challenge: from 80% dependency on fossil fuels to

80% reduction in GHG emissions in 40 years!

A reinvention of our energy system

A need to move to a low carbon economy – not easy, cheap or swift

Technology and the efficient use of the resources are essential for this transition

ContextContext

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

Vision of a Europe with world leadership in a diverse portfolio of clean, efficient and low carbon technology – as a motor for growth and jobs

Preparatory phase on SET-Plan industrial initiatives is achieved

Results: costed Technology Roadmaps

Now we focus our efforts on the preparations of the launch the European Industrial Initiatives (EIIs)

Preparation of the Implementation Plans of the EIIs to identify the priority actions for the period 2010-2012 derived from the technology roadmaps objectives

Launch and implementation of these EIIs are shared effort. Possible actors include: EC, industry, EIB Member States including the Regions.

European regions play a role in creating innovation and research-friendly environments and in bringing together public, private and research sectors to develop innovative solutions

As good practice, research programmes and infrastructures exist in the regions, this could be an opportunity for the regions to take an active part to the implementation of the SET Plan EIIs.

How the regions could contribute?

European regions are the potential contributors to the EII on Smart Cities (dedicated presentation on this subject)

possible contribution and participation of the European regions to other EIIs by acting as project partners and co-financers

regions have the possibility to mobilise local, national and community funds including the Structural Funds to implement defined regional action plans in support of regional economic development

currently regions finance projects which could be replicated or up scaling

Possible actions

ERRIN could be a privileged interlocutor as it can communicate the information from EC to its members.

ERRIN could provide an inventory of the energy related projects contributing to the SET Plan objectives

ERRIN could consult the different roadmaps and could identify the activities where its members could be interested to participate – necessity to contact the Sherpas of the Steering Group

Possibly to organise an other meeting in few months to inform ERRIN and its members on the progress

Up to 20% of the EU electricity produced by wind energy technologies by 2020

Up to 15% of the EU electricity will be generated by solar energy in 2020.

By 2020, 50% of networks in Europe operate along “smart principle” effectively

matching supply and demand.
