Policy Goals
• To put ourselves on a path to cut the UK’s carbon dioxide emissions by some 60% by about 2050, with real progress by 2020;
• To maintain the reliability of energy supplies (making sure the lights stay on);
• To promote competitive markets in the UK and beyond, helping to raise the rate of sustainable economic growth and to improve our productivity; and
• To ensure that every home is adequately and affordably heated.

Multiple Drivers
• The business opportunity
• Emission reduction
• Renewables targets – 10% by 2010, 20% by 2020
• Security of supply
• Playing our part in the global challenge: G8/Kyoto post 2012

Energy Industries and Technologies Unit
Key Questions for the Review
1. The Government’s role in ensuring that the UK’s long term goal of reducing carbon emissions is met
2. Developing our market framework for delivering reliable energy supplies
3. Considerations applying to nuclear4. Considerations applying to carbon abatement and other low
carbon technologies5. Steps towards ensuring that every home is adequately and
affordably heated
The Government will review the UK’s progress against the medium and long-term Energy White Paper goals and the options for further steps to achieve them. The aim will be to bring forward proposals on energy policy [this] year.

• Research councils programmes (e.g. Supergen)
• Technology Programme
• OGD programmes
• Carbon Trust R&D Programme
• International R&D – IEA, EU, etc
• Renewables Obligation
• Non Fossil Fuel Obligation
• Exemption from the Climate Change Levy
• Offshore wind capital grants scheme
• Marine Renewables Fund
• Bioenergy capital grants scheme
• Low Carbon Buildings Programme
• Hydrogen and Carbon Abatement Technology Demonstration Fund
The Government provides support to low carbon energy technologies at each stage of their development
The Government also support low carbon technologies through non-financial support:• Reform of planning regulations for renewables (PPS 22)• Committee on Radioactive Waste Management• Leading international effort to establish regulations for CCS
R&D• Basic research
Development• Applied research
Pre-commercial• Moving towards large
scale production
Demonstration• Early deployment of
emerging technologies
Tech Prog R&D is also critical to support demonstration activity

The Technology Programme is the new(ish) mechanism which the Government uses to deliver support for collaborative research and development
SR2004 commits HMG to deliver £320 million through the Technology Programme over SR2004
The new and renewable energy R&D budget is now delivered though the Technology Programme
An independent Technology Strategy Board dominated by industry experts sets the priorities for each 6 monthly call
£35m so far committed to low carbon energy technologies, including £11m in the November 2005 competition – now closed
EPSRC co-funding
Business to business and science to business collaborations
