7. General ContextLong Term Climate Change Challenges Annual energy related CO2 worldwide emissions 450 ppm scenario Need paradigm shiftfor energy provision IEA WEO 2009

8. General ContextEU Energy Policy Need fertile ground for energy revolution EU Strategic Energy Technology (SET) plan 2020 targets (20-20-20) 2050 vision (reduction CO2 by > 85%)

9. General ContextNew Energy System Required Completely different system by 2050-…: Maybe H2 as partly energy carrier (?) Maybe 2-nd & 3-rd gen biofuels successful (?) Maybe new synthetic liquid fuels from CO2 capture by means of solar light (?) But certainly more diverse end-energy conversion; more electrified; much more integrated  interconnections & grids ever more important!

10. EU SET Planhttp://ec.europa.eu/energy/technology/set_plan/set_plan_en.htm

11. General Context • SET plan relies on two important pillars • EERA (European Energy Research laboratories) • EII (European Industrial Initiatives) /

12. General ContextSET - EERA http://www.eera-set.eu/home

13. General Context SET - European Energy Research Alliance Belgium / Flanders absent! Must join forces – Need critical mass • Joint energy research programs supporting SET-plan • Strength partner = crucial for participation • Working groups a.o.: electric power storage transportation & networks solar photovoltaic transmission and distribution network for the future wind energy • 10 founding partners: • CEA (Frankrijk) • CIEMAT (Spanje) • CRES (Griekenland) • ECN (Nederland) • ENEA (Italië) • Helmholz Association (Duitsland) • LNEG (Portugal) • Riso – DTU (Denemarken) • UK-ERC (VK) • VTT (Finland) /

16. General ContextSET - European Industrial Initiatives • Initiative from Industry • Large-scale pilot plojects + technological innovatio • 7 initiatives: wind, solar, bio-energy, CCS, electricity grid, smart cities, sustainable nuclear energy • Theme “smart” explicit in min. 4 themes • Theme smart cities important part • Theme green cars: grids essential /

17. General Context 2. VITO and KULeuven Limburg

18. General ContextRelocation VITO En Tech & LL axis • VITOsearches relocation & expansion of activities; Mol remains core but some activities elsewhere • KULeuven wishes to develop axis Limburg/Leuven; reflects already for long time on a spin-off/technology park in Limburg /

19. General ContextRelocation VITO En Tech & LL axis GAF(KHLim, Xios, UHasselt, KULeuven) looks for convenient location to collaborate Association KULeuven may lead to further opportunities for energy research /

20. General Context 3. EIT KIC Energy & InnoEnergy

21. General ContextEIT KIC Energy & InnoEnergy Launched by EU Commission President Barosso http://eit.europa.eu/

22. General ContextEIT KIC Energy & InnoEnergy A new collaboration model promoting cross-national, cross-sectoral and cross-disciplinary approaches to knowledge sharing and transfer for excellence in innovation. For the first time, Higher Education will interact on an equal footing with other partners. Integrating the “knowledge triangle”

23. General ContextEIT KIC Energy & InnoEnergy KIC = Knowledge & Innovation Community

24. General ContextEIT KIC Energy & InnoEnergy What is a KIC? is a high-profile, collaborative consortium a “legally and financially structured and managed entity” of geographically distributed but thematically convergent stakeholders open to international participation will become a world leader in its field encompassing the whole innovation chain from education to economic impact will deliver a measurable impacts on society economic, scientific, educational and entrepreneurial will have a minimum life of 7 years

25. General ContextEIT KIC Energy & InnoEnergy Size and lifetime of a KIC 50-100 M Euro total spending per year Life 7-15 years Funding : EIT 25%, fully committed, subject to evaluation of milestone delivery Others 75% (leverage factor 3), for example : European programmes European Structural Funds National and regional funding Industry investment (including in-kind contributions) EIT Foundation (also seed funding, scholarships…) Private investors & Venture Capitalists Investment banks

26. General ContextEIT KIC Energy & InnoEnergy Ingredients for a KIC with impact Geographically distributed people across the European Community and linking to centers of excellence in other parts of the world Working in networks focussed on typically 4 – 6 major nodes which are “co-location centers”, where staff from different stakeholders come to work together, face-to-face and which link other partners, such as local clusters of SMEs Each co-location center should encompass a significant part of the innovation chain Co-location of people is critical it is the key to achieving knowledge transfer and ‘translation’ between stakeholders and between science, research and business effective translation is fundamental to delivery of KIC goals Mobility of people is therefore a pre-condition

27. General ContextEIT KIC Energy & InnoEnergy Original idea was to enter the EIT KIC competition with ELAt ELAt = TUEindhoven, KULeuven & RWTH Aachen triangle But Aachen pulled out Waterschei/Genk in the middle of the triangle
