  1. Energy in the EU Framework Programme for Research and Innovation 2014-2020 janis.folkmanis@ec.europa.eu Energy Policy and Horizon 2020 Energy

  2. Energy Policy and Horizon 2020 • Energy Road-Map 2050 • SET-Plan for 2020 • Horizon 2020 • Blue Growth • Link to Structural Funds • Conclusions

  3. Energy Road-Map 2050 • CutGreenhouseGas Emissions by 80-95% by 2050 • Implies; • More energyefficiency • 2/3 of energyfromres • Electricityalmostemissions free, despitehigherdemand • Imply; Transform the energy system by 2050. Need a new energy model.

  4. SET-Plan for 2020 • Links technology policy and programmes to 20-20-20 (res-ee-carbon) Policy • Technology Road-Maps and Industrial Initiatives, in solar, wind, bioenergy, CCS, grid, nuclear, smart cities. • Main contributions so far from FP7, EERP, IEE. Horizon 2020 to follow FP7 and IEE. • Contributions possible from NER 300, Member States, Industry

  5. Horizon 2020 Commission proposal for 80b Euro research and innovation programme (2014-2020) A single programme for three priority areas; excellent science, industrial leadership, societal challenges. Coupling research to innovation – from research to retail, all forms of innovation Focus on societal challenges facing EU society, e.g. health, clean energy and transport

  6. Horizon 2020 - Excellent science • Proposed funding (million euro, 2014-2020)

  7. Horizon 2020-Industrial leadership Proposed funding (million euro, 2014-20)

  8. Proposed funding (million euro, 2014-2020) Horizon 2020 - Societal challenges • *Additional €1 788m for nuclear safety and security from the Euratom Treaty activities (2014-2018). Does not include ITER.

  9. Horizon 2020 - Widening participation Principle of excellence: continue to allocate funding on the basis of competitive calls, selecting only the best projects. Clear division of labour between cohesion policy and Horizon 2020. Cohesion policy: support for regions in building up their research and innovation capacity. Horizon 2020: widen participation, better coordination between the two Union funding programmes, support policy learning reforms. Accompanying measures in Horizon 2020 to ensure that excellence prevails wherever it exists, including: twinning, ERA chairs, support for access to international networks, development of smart specialisation strategies.

  10. Horizon 2020 - Key challenge 'secure, clean and efficient energy‘ Objective: to make the transition to a reliable, sustainable and competitive energy system, in the face of increasingly scarce resources, increasing energy needs and climate change. Broad lines of activities: (1) Reducing energy consumption and carbon footprint by smart and sustainable use; (2) Low-cost, low-carbon electricity supply; (3) Alternative fuels and mobile energy sources; (4) A single, smart European electricity grid; (5) New knowledge and technologies; (6) Robust decision making and public engagement; (7) Market uptake of energy innovation.

  11. Horizon 2020 - Next steps Ongoing: Parliament and Council negotiations on the basis of the Commission proposals Ongoing: Parliament and Council negotiations on EU budget 2014-2020 (including overall budget for Horizon 2020) 10 July 2012 Final calls under 7th Framework Programme for research to bridge gap towards Horizon 2020 Mid 2013: Adoption of legislative acts by Parliament and Council on Horizon 2020 1/1/2014: Horizon 2020 starts, launch of first calls

  12. Blue Growth • Long-term strategy to support growth in the maritime sector • Broad coverage – shipping, shipbuilding, fisheries, regional development, coastal tourism, offshore energy production, desalination, marine resources, marine environment. • Programme elements - Marine knowledge 2020, maritime spatial planning, integrated maritime surveillance, sea basin strategies.

  13. Blue Growth - Energy Offshore Wind Offshore Grid Ocean Energy Marine Bioenergy

  14. Structural Funds Guidelines contain a strong trend towards innovation Generally link well to sectoral policies Of course … national capitals are the key to achieving a good combination

  15. Conclusions (Offshore Energy Viewpoint) Overall policy picture is favourable Policy and economic reality favours scale and early deployment If Horizon 2020 is approved it will be a key “icebreaker” in a “frozen” credit and investment climate

  16. Conclusions (Offshore Energy Viewpoint) Need to combine sources of support, political and financial Offshore grid in the front line for substantial support Ocean energy does have a home in Horizon 2020, but it needs to organise in the policy context and prove its potential and maturity
