  1. EU ENERGY SECURITY STRATEGIES ARF Energy Security Seminar DG Energy and Transport, European Commission Fabrizio Barbaso 16/04/2008 EUROPEANCOMMISSION

  2. EU energy mix: business as usual is not sustainable Energy demand and carbon intensity 2005 ~ 80% fossil fuel Import dependency SOURCE: Eurostat.

  3. EU-27 origin of gas • EU27 production decreasing • Import by 2010 – 62% • Import by 2020 – 75-80% SOURCE: European Commission, Eurostat 2005.

  4. Integrated climate and energy policy • Internal Market • Interconnections (Trans-European networks) • European electricity and gas network • Research and innovation • Clean coal • Carbon sequestration • Alternative fuels • Energy efficiency • Nuclear Competitiveness FULLY BALANCED INTEGRATED AND MUTUALLY REINFORCED Sustainable Development Security of supply • Renewable energy • Energy efficiency • Nuclear • Research and innovation • Emission trading • International Dialogue • European stock management (oil/gas) • Refining capacity and energy storage • Diversification

  5. Key drivers by 2020 By 2020 -20% EU GHG By 2020 +20% EFFICIENCY By 2020 binding 20% RENEWABLESin final energy consumption atEU level BIO-FUELS Min 10%binding ELECTRICITY MS binding choice HEATING & COOLING MS binding choice NATIONAL TARGETS & ACTION PLANS

  6. Elements for security of supply • Internal market • Solidarity • Infrastructure development • Diversification of sources and supply routes • Strong measures to improve energy efficiency • A common international energy policy

  7. Open and transparent internal energy market • 3rd Internal Energy Market in electricity and gas package, September 2007 • Main shortcomings: • Lack of TSO cooperation • Regulatory gas • Lack of interconnections • Proposed solutions: • Effective unbundling • TSO cooperation • European Agency for Regulatory Cooperation • Solidarity arrangements

  8. Solidarity in security of supply • Gas Coordination Group • Oil Supply Group • Network of Energy Security Correspondents • Strategic stocks (oil and gas): revision of oil stocks directive to be tabled end 2008; study on gas storage to start soon • Effective mechanisms for energy crisis management: new proposals • Electricity Interconnections

  9. Infrastructure development • Continuous identification of missing infrastructure • European coordinators for 4 priority projects: • Power-Link Germany, Poland, Lithuania • Connections to off-shore wind power, Northern Europe • Electricity interconnections France-Spain • Nabucco pipeline • TEN-E projects of “European interest” • Way forward on strategic energy networks to be addressed in the 2nd Strategic Energy Review, end 2008

  10. Electricity projects of European interest

  11. Priority projects for natural gas

  12. Diversifying energy sources • Diversifying supply sources, routes and producers (LNG in gas) • Renewable energy proposals – 20% target by 2020 • Biofuels use in transport - 10% 2020 • Strategic Energy Technology Plan: November 2007 • 6 priority Industrial Initiatives: second generation bio-fuels, large scale offshore wind, smart electricity grid, photovoltaic electricity, fourth generation fission nuclear reactors, sustainable coal and gas technologies, particularly carbon capture and storage

  13. Realising the potential of energy efficiency • Energy Efficiency Action Plan - adopted on 19 October 2006, saving 20% energy by 2020 • Actions in transport, appliances, buildings, heat and electricity generation, transmission and distribution • On international level – International Partnership for Energy Efficiency Cooperation

  14. International energy policy • Cooperation with key energy producers, transit countries, EU neighbours: Russia, Central Asia, Ukraine, Mediterranean, OPEC, etc. • Relations with consumer countries in international, regional and bilateral context: IEA, USA, China, India, Japan, Africa-Europe Partnership, and others • International negotiations, agreements, partnerships on energy, climate, trade and technology: post-2012, Major Emitters, ECT, IPEEC, M2M, CSLF,...

  15. International energy policy • A new EU-ASEAN Senior Officials Dialogue on Energy Cooperation - a unique region-to-region format • Asia-Europe Meeting (ASEM) format – energy security, climate change as new topics for discussion • 1stASEM Ministerial Conference on Energy Security – 10 October 2008 in Brussels
