  16. Steel Committee. 22 Oct 2012 EMIRI: Goals and ambitions • -EMIRI’s aim is to raise awareness of the needs of the advanced materials sector for sustainable energy applications in the context of the forthcoming Horizon 2020 framework programme. • - The backbone of the initiative for sustainable energy will be the SET Plan materials road map published by the Commission in November 2011 • - In addition EMIRI will represent a multi-KET approach as it deals in one way or another in Advanced materials, Nano materials and Photonics. • - It will be industry driven in terms of defining the long term strategy and priorities, however it will remain inclusive with respect to all the stakeholders in the sector (ETPs, including ESTEP, Industry Associations, Research associations) • - An association EMIRI was founded in Sept 2012 by a core group of leading motivated industrial organisations and companies . For the Steel sector ArcelorMittal, voestalpine, CSM, and Eurofer/ESTEP are members. • - EMIRI will explore mechanisms to implement its ambitions. The first of these will be to review together with the stakeholders and the EC the feasibility of creating a PPP that will achieve the goals of EMIRI. This initiative has been presented to the EC officially in April 2012 . On-going discussion with the EC.

  19. Steel Committee. 22 Oct 2012 SPIRESustainable Process Industry throughResource and Energy EfficiencyA proposal for a European public-private Partnership(PPP) dedicated to innovation in resource and energy efficiency and enabled by the process industries

  20. Steel Committee. 22 Oct 2012 Resource & Energy efficiency Partnership Who we are

  21. Steel Committee. 22 Oct 2012 The Process industries within the value chain

  22. Resource & Energy efficiency Partnership Steel Committee. 22 Oct 2012 • Main objectives of the SPIRE initiative : • To develop , via research, innovation & knowledge exchange , new solutions to improve resource and energy efficiency in the process industries within a cross-sectoral approach • To develop solutions that demonstrate the advantages of industrial cooperation • To explain and promote the current and future potential of industry in addressing the current challenges of sustainable production, in line with the resource and energy policies. • To provide a channel for a broad coalition of industry interests to dialogue with the EU institutions on methods of improving resource and energy use. • We propose to create a Public Private Partnership (PPP) to support and manage this initiative.

  23. Steel Committee. 22 Oct 2012 SPIRE: Wherewe are so far ? • SPIRE is fully in line with the objectives of Horizon 2020, published on 30th Nov 2011 : tackling societal challenges and providing industrial leadership and competitiveness • The E. Commission supports this initiative and asks us to prepare some elements about the commitment from industry, the research roadmap, and the way of working for this PPP . • We had a first official meeting with the European Commission on 24th April, with participation of DG Research, Environment, ICT . A Ad-hoc Industrial Advisory Group for the SPIRE PPP has been created. A second AIAG meeting held on 5th June. • The SPIRE website created in June . • The research roadmap has been published in July. • The Association SPIRE created in July.

  24. Steel Committee. 22 Oct 2012 SPIRE: towards a commitment from industry • Global research budget of circa 1 2 billion Euros, of which 5001000 millions from industry over a 6 years period. Around 120 million for the steel industry, so 20 millions/year. A part could be ongoing activities from the steel companies to be shared within SPIRE. • Elements of expected impact for the process industries have been provided in the research roadmap . • Definition of gouvernance structure for the SPIRE PPP. Setting up a legal entity AISBL on the model of EFFRA. • To compile a PPP multi-annual Roadmap , defining the research contents. • To propose KPIs around resource efficiency ( energy, raw materials, water, waste, recycling…) • All these elements were provided in July 2012.

  25. Steel Committee. 22 Oct 2012 SPIRE: creation of a legal entity • As suggested by the E. Commission, there is a need to create a legal entity « A.SPIRE », Association SPIRE. • The statutes, under the Belgian law ( ASBL) have been approved. • 3 categories of membership • Industry members, with 3 subcategories: • Companies belonging to the process industry. 5 Letters of Intent already signed for steel by ArcelorMittal , Tatasteel, TKS-E, Tenaris , voestalpine. AM and TKS-E are founding members. • Companies that have partnership relationship to the process industry. For steel industry CMI and LKAB are here. • Trade associations active in this field. ESTEP/EUROFER is here. • EUROFER (BdL) and TKS-E ( Dr Ferkel) are members of the Board. • Research members. So far the RTOs involved in the roadmap are here. BFI is representing RIES( Research initiative for European Steel). BFI, CSM and Mefos are founding members. CRM is member. • Associate members. Open to other trade associations, NGOs, other.

  34. Steel Committee. 22 Oct 2012 EU R&D&I: opportunities • - Within Horizon 2020, there is a lot of opportunities for the process industries and equipment suppliers. • - “Industrial leadership” where we are proposing the PPP SPIRE ....lead by industry • “ secure , clean and efficient energy production “ • “ Climate change, Resource efficiency( including energy efficiency) and raw materials” • To cover the whole innovation chain, with pilots & demonstrators and putting the results on the market • Equipment suppliers could be also involved in tranversal components to be included in all R&D&I initiative , like • Life Cycle Assessment, Life Cycle Thinking • Eco-design ( e.g. industrial furnaces) • Implementation of the energy directive ( e.g. BATs implementation, energy management concept, continuous improvement of energy efficiency ...) • Implementation of the Industrial Emissions Directive (EID) with the BATs conclusions • Ensuring the transition to a “ low-carbon “ economy

  35. Steel Committee. 22 Oct 2012 BAT conclusions for I&S industry • Covering the upstream steps of productions up to semis with detailed list per units( coke plant, sinter plant, pellet plants, BF, BOF,EAF, casting) • In addition general BAT conclusions • Environmental management • Energy management • Materials management • Residues and wastes • Water and waste water management • Monitoring • Decommissioning • Noise • An overall total of 95 BAT conclusions for the upstream steel production • Directive IED Article 75.

  36. Steel Committee. 22 Oct 2012 Conclusions • The ETPs play a key role within the European Research Area, defining SRAs and developing roadmaps in conjunction with the European Commission. • The European Commission has launched in 2010 new initiatives for the improvement of research and innovation policy. Innovation has been placed at the heart of the EU 2020 strategy. • Horizon 2020 in the name of the next Framework Programme , covering the period 2014-2020. • Ongoing interactive work of ESTEP with Commission for the preparation of the contents and roadmaps for Horizon 2020 • SPIRE is an example of new PPP, like other PPPs, which would be hosted within H 2020 .
