The Global Energy Challenges
Strong growth in demand and increased dependence on imports
2/3 of the growth in demand from developing countries
Still 1,2 billion without access to electricity in 2030
2,8 billion people rely on traditional biomass for cooking
For many poor countries energy imports remain a heavy financial burden
Coal often the next step in the energy development

$45 000 billion increased investment cost to 2050
$1100 billion on average each year
Shift from energy expenditures to investments
Opens enormous markets for new technology!
Scaling up R&D efforts essential
Without a successful R&D effort the cost of the transition will be much higher
R&D constitutes a small share of the investment costs
R&D efforts must be scaled up early and will require significant involvement by governments
1515
Climate agreement 2008Increases R&D investment in Norway
A broad-based political agreement in the Parliament
Almost threefold increase in budgets for environmentally friendly energy R&D 2008-2010
Enabled establishment of a strategic and structuring long-term effort
Strategy and Priority Setting

Energy & Climate R&D Norwegian strategic model
Strategic, long-term, involving key players and politically rooted
National strategies designed and developed by industry, government and research institutes
OG21 - technology strategy for the Norwegian Continental Shelf and the Norwegian supply industry
Energi21 - R&D strategy for the energy sector
Climate21 – Strategy for climate research
1818
Energi21 Recommendations 2008
• Call for rapid stepping up of R&D funding• Affirm Norway's qualifications as a leading
nation in environmentally friendly energy:
–From national energy balance to green export
• Renewable power to Europe• Technologies in a global market
–Home of some of the world's leading energy and technology companies

Priority Setting for Implementation
Priorities - topic Energi21 recommendations Areas important for national energy and climate policy Areas with potential international markets where
Norway has advantages
Priorities – instruments New Research centres Programs – Basic Science – Innovation Infrastructure Test/pilot projects International collaboration
24
Climate Agreement Growth 2008-2010 – by Instruments
2525
Climate Agreement Growth 2008-2010 – by Sector
Research Centers as a driving force
Concentration of the best Norwegian competence in a long-term and concentrated effort
Provide a platform for taking R&D results to the market
Innovation through clustering the country’s leading companies, research institutes and universities
Increase the visibility of the research efforts
Attractive for government and industry
Visible spear heads for international R&D collaboration
Leading actors unified under one umbrella
Clear targets for international collaboration

Eight Centres for Environment-friendly Energy Research
CO2 storage
Zero emission buildings
Solar cell technology
Offshore wind technology
Offshore wind energy
Bioenergy
Renewableenergy systems
CO2 capture and storage
New centres within socioeconomic energy research in 2011
Strategic Challenges in International Climate and Energy Policy (CICEP).
Centre for Sustainable Energy Studies (CenSES)
Oslo Center for Research on Environmentally friendly Energy (CREE)
CEERs – so far All eight centres are active and visible spearheads
within their topic areas
Strong clusters formed between researchers and industrial partners
Nearly 100 user partners, mainly industrial
About 400 researchers are connected to the centres, a large number of new PhDs has been engaged
The interplay with R&D programs is important
New centres within socioeconomic energy research
3030
Norwegian R&D Revolution – A more attractive partner for international collaboration
Increase of nearly 3x R&D volume in less than 3 years
Allowed for a structured effort to strengthen Norway in areas where we have advantages
International collaboration a high priority
Strengthen research quality
Develop knowledge for solving global challenges
Value creation for industry
Increased budgets for key energy R&D programs offer more opportunities to support projects with international collaboration
