  1. EFONETEnergy Foresight Network

  2. Main features Coordination Action, FP7 14 partners (11 MS) + IEA + STOA (EP) Extensive network of experts Not an RTD project, but a discussion platform to: Share and disseminate knowledge on energy foresight methods and practice Provide input to EU policy makers Duration: 2 ½ years Resources: ca. 80 person.months Support of external experts 18 Workshops and 1 Conference

  3. Overall objectives of the EFONET project The ultimate objective of the EFONET project is to assess the contribution that current knowledge on energy foresight methods and on their practical application can provide to energy policy making, specifically in the framework of the transition towards a sustainable and low carbon energy system.

  4. Overall objectives of the EFONET project • In particular, EFONET aims at providing policy relevant inputs to the EC for the formulation, review and evaluation of European energy policies, notably in relation with: • the Review of the EU Energy Strategy • the Action Plan for Energy Efficiency • the SET (Strategic Energy Technology plan)

  5. Methodological approaches to energy foresight End use energy efficiency strategies Foresight in the transport and mobility sector Energy technology integration and scenarios Acceptability and development conditions How can foresight methodologies be improved to arrive at a “European Energy Foresight”? What are possible pathways to implement new energy consumption patterns in the residential and industrial sectors? How can conventional technologies and fuels be substituted? Which new transport services and related technologies? How can energy scenarios (and models) integrate current and future technologies? Can we measure social acceptability of energy technologies and understand how it will affect demand patterns and technology use? 5 main themes

  6. State of the art reports on methodologies and practice of energy foresight in the 5 thematic areas Policy briefs aim to provide contributions to specific policy priorities and EU orientations, Country Reports summarising SoA on energy foresight methods and their application across the EU. Main expected outputs

  7. The EFONETworkshops Each of the 18 Thematic Workshops (WS) will gather about 20 persons each

  8. How can EFONET be useful for the policy making? Consistent representation of possible futures  Building consensus on long term policy options Identifying feasible pathways  Combining short/medium term policy constraints with long term vision and implications  Validating current policy options/targets Identifying technological priorities  Providing input to medium/long term RTD policy Reducing conflicts in priority setting  Promoting a shared perception of uncertainties
