The European Context
EU:
Austria Belgium Czech Republic Cyprus Denmark Estonia Finland France Germany Greece Hungary Ireland Italy Latvia Lithuania Luxemburg Malta The Netherlands Poland Portugal Slovenia Slovakia Spain Sweden United Kingdom
EU Candidate Countries:
Bulgaria Croatia Romania Turkey
European Economic Area:
Iceland Norway Switzerland
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
European Research Area
► The EC addresses the fragmentation of EU research by coordinating three different levels
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
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 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 ► 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
