Policy Department A: Economic and Scientific Policy ____________________________________________________________________________________________ NOTE 1: EXPERIENCE WITH EU RESEARCH & INNOVATION POLICIES By Greg Arrowsmith - Policy officer of EUREC Agency EEIG (www.eurec.be) 1. Obstacles and drivers for the development and the deplotement of emerging RES technologies KEY FINDINGS • A distinction can be made between bankable and non-bankable technologies. Bankable technologies are driven by “industrial policy”. • The fundamental obstacle is money. Generally speaking, making a case for more money for R&D in a particular area is something that politicians can find difficult. It is much easier to push for existing resources to be used more efficiently. 1.1. What are “emerging technologies” “Emerging technologies” can mean different things to different people. Professionals in the renewable energy industry would regard technologies that exist only in the laboratory and that are 10 years or more from large-scale production as “emerging” (for example, organic photovoltaic solar cells or myriad forms of wave energy device), while those outside the industry who characterise fossil and nuclear energy as “conventional” forms of generation, might consider even a 120 W crystalline silicon photovoltaic module as “emerging”, although it is a readily available product. This paper therefore covers the obstacles and drivers that affect both the development and deployment of renewable energy technology that can be ordered from a catalogue and which, in a particular market context56, is almost certain to operate profitably (“bankable technology”), and technologies that are not yet at that stage. An awareness of a technology’s “readiness” is crucial for actors in a position to assist its development to decide on the best way to support it. A pseudo-quantitative way to describe readiness is with a value between 1 and 9, where 8 and 9 represent bankable technologies. Technology Readiness Levels are used in figure 1 and are covered in more detail in 3.2. A discussion on the value and place of “blue skies research” (research performed to deepen humanity’s understanding of nature, with no particular application in mind) is out of the scope of this report. We pick up the story at the stage where the potential application of some knowledge in a future product, capable of increasing its performance in some useful way, has been identified. This is “applied research”. Terminology: A technology can be described as bankable or non-bankable (and perhaps assigned a particular Technology Readiness Level – see part 3). A research or demonstration project can be described as having a high or low risk of failure (in one dimension) and of having a high or low potential to improve the technology’s performance (in another). 56 Meaning supported by local market support schemes (if necessary), like feed-in tariffs IP/A/ITRE/ST/2009-11 & 12 132 PE 440.278
