The European Context EU: Austria European Belgium Economic Area: Czech Republic Iceland Cyprus Norway Denmark Switzerland Estonia Finland France EU Germany Greece Candidate Hungary Countries: Ireland Bulgaria Italy Croatia Latvia Romania Lithuania Turkey Luxemburg Malta The Netherlands Poland Portugal Slovenia Slovakia Spain Sweden United Kingdom
Coordination is needed ► 25 Member States � Up to 25 national programmes � Unavoidable significant overlap � Virtual decrease of critical mass � Decrease of competitiveness � Need of coordination of National Programmes at EU level 40
European Research Area ► The EC addresses the fragmentation of EU research by coordinating three different levels � Politics ERA- � Programmes NET � Projects 40
ERA-NET Scheme ► Mechanism introduced under EC FP6 ERA-NET scheme � Possible to take a two-stage approach � Specific Supported Action (SSA) followed by a Coordination Action (CA) � to be initiated by (quasi) government organizations of Member States 40
FENCO-ERA Objective ► Development of a technology path � Opportunity to share knowledge � Funding options for a gradual improvement of the fossil energy technologies ► Establish European level R&D conformity to � EU members’ needs � EU industry � EU academia � To define a technology path towards low and near zero 40 emission power plants
World Primary Energy Consumption
Issues and Drivers ► Fossil fuels will be necessary for several decades ► Global Climate Change targets require full range of solutions ► REN playing significant role only in medium or long term ► Acceptability of Nuclear? ► Developing countries (e.g. China) need to be engaged if GCC is really to be tackled ► Security of Supply implications 40 ► Economics!
German COORETEC Initiative Direction of research in the field of power plant engineering
UK Carbon Abatement Technology Strategy ► Scope of CAT Strategy � Improved conversion efficiency � Less carbon intensive fuels (co-firing) � Carbon dioxide capture and storage (CSS) � Not just coal but extended to other fossil fuels 40
