  1. Dr. John Butson OPET General Annual Meeting - Mariehamn 1999 CONCLUSIONS FROM THE TECHNICAL SESSIONS 1. Technologies & Technology Clusters 2. Markets & Marketing Groups Dr. John Butson OPET-CU DG XIII: Telecommunications, information market and exploitation of research DG XVII: Energy JOULE-THERMIE

  2. Dr. John Butson OPET General Annual Meeting - Mariehamn 1999 • Technologies & Technology Clusters • TOPIC LEADER • Energy in Cities Mr Pat Bell • Energy in Buildings Mr Tony Turchyn • RES large-scale Mr Guillermo Escobar • RES small-scale Mr Albert Medrano • Solid Fuels OCiCARBON/ ETSU DG XIII: Telecommunications, information market and exploitation of research DG XVII: Energy JOULE-THERMIE

  3. Energy in Cities • Technologies • Need infrastructure and information (motivation) • Key technologies are vehicles (LPG, electric, biogas) • RTD requirements are reduced costs and efficient batteries • Good practice • Standards (eg. ISO 14001) - ETSU • Collaboration with competing companies - OPET Bothnia • Eco-car of the year - MOTIVA • Opportunities • Shared experience on strategic/ mobility planning • Battery testing facility for electric vehicles

  4. Buildings • Technologies • Integrated approach of RUE in existing buildings • Energy labelling/ load calculations • RTD should be more market-led, less technical/academic • Good practice • Integrated approach to low energy offices (ECD) • THEPIS database of case studies (BRECSU) • Combine technical, financial and visual material (ECD) • Opportunities • Common approach to building local calculations • Experience of experience - energy labelling • Regional demonstration projects

  5. Large Scale Renewables Technologies Focus on biomass gasification and energy from waste Key technologies are gasification system and gas clean up Integrated approach combining management and technology Good practices Biomass technology & experience (EM, ECD & Austria) Energy from waste projects (CRES, Finland, SODEAN) Opportunities/ transnationality: Standardisation of biofuels at EU level Measures of secure fuel supply & price stability

  6. Small Scale Renewables: Solar Technologies Mature technologies but barriers still exist Better integration (eg. Into buildings) needed Improvement in efficiency/cost-effectiveness needed Good practices Consumer awareness (Upper Austria) Political support (Brandenburg) Utility involvement (Voralberg/Bavaria) Opportunities/ transnationality: Technology procurement West-East technology transfer Information exchange (campaigns etc)

  7. Small Scale Renewables: Biomass Technologies Need for efficient but small scale technologies Cost reduction/economies of scale Fuel preparation (pelleting, drying etc) Good practices Fuel Supply systems (OPET Austria) Demonstration of combustion plant (EC BREC) Opportunities/ transnationality Bioenergy supply infrastructure Business mission for technology providers Commodity trading (biofuels)

  8. Dr. John Butson OPET General Annual Meeting - Mariehamn 1999 • Markets & Marketing Groups • TOPIC LEADER • Public Sector: Financing John Butson • Individuals Per-Erik Nilsson • Private Sector: Industry Alberto Medrano • Export Markets Guillermo Escobar /Matti Heikkila DG XIII: Telecommunications, information market and exploitation of research DG XVII: Energy JOULE-THERMIE

  9. Individuals • Market Approach • Individual citizens plus wide range of others • Awareness campaigns (success stories), more specific training • Good practices • Energy saving tips for houses • Training of sales staff (appliances etc) • Training building systems/controls • Opportunities • Involve more OPETs in this area • Develop general mobility tools/ materials • Spreadsheet for evaluating home energy consumption

  10. Finance Market Approach TPF & establishment of ESCOs Sources of project finance (funds etc) Different issues in different countries Good practices Establishment of ESCOs (SOGES/OMIKK) Self financing (RUE in schools - Cross Border OPET) Integrated Approach of project finance (ENEA) Opportunities/ transnationality: Financing group within Network Identification of key issues /success factors Annual conference on financing RUE/RES

  11. Industry/Voluntary Agreements Market Approach Improvement for industry also municipalities/transport etc OPETs as catalyst (eg. Between Trade Associations & Government) Good practices Base on realistic/acceptable objectives & targets (Motiva) Agreements can involve providers of finance (ENEA) Use in relation to public transport (IDAE) Opportunities/ transnationality: West-East transfer of experiences

  12. Export Markets Market Approach EU suppliers & 3rd countries organisations Local presence essential Awareness of national differences Good practices Local market management system - PROSOL (SODEAN) Exploit cost-effective niche markets - islands (ADEME) Opportunities/ transnationality: Export of concepts/approach (eg. Passive solar design) Promotion of complementary projects/services China as a key market (use Associate)
