Policy Department A: Economic and Scientific Policy ____________________________________________________________________________________________ 2. European policy initiatives The following considerations relate to European policy initiatives and their impact on the market deployment of emerging renewable energy technologies. The European Strategic Energy Technology Plan (SET-Plan) represents an important document in focusing European R & D efforts on technologies and providing roadmaps and R & D targets for selected technologies. This strategic initiative could profit very much from being enlarged by technologies which are considered to be of key importance for the regional and local level. Out of the 7 initiatives of the SET-Plan, 6 of the technologies only relate to the production of electricity which - despite its high strategic importance - nevertheless only accounts for 21%70 of the EU's energy consumption. The areas that should also be covered are mainly renewable heating and cooling technologies (for example including lowest emission biomass heating technologies including innovation in fuel production and logistics, solar heating and cooling technologies including innovation in absorption and adsorption systems, high-efficiency heat pump technologies,) and energy efficiency in buildings, industry and transport (innovative insulation technologies, new approaches to high-efficiency window technologies, low-cost solutions for nearly zero energy buildings, innovative control systems, consumer behaviour in high-efficiency buildings etc.) Formulating similar R&D targets as it was done for the seven initiatives for some of these technologies would be very beneficial. The "Smart Cities Initiative" seems to be a relevant starting point, however, the challenges to be overcome in achieving energy efficiency in buildings and industry seem to call for a stronger and wider effort. The pioneer cities can have an important role, however, there is some concern whether the critical mass in innovation will be sufficient. Given the commitment the European Union has made with its 20-20-20 targets, it seems to be of high importance that the R&D priorities fully reflect all these goals, and do not limit themselves to a wide extent to the electricity producing sector. Structural and cohesion funds can have an important role in supporting market deployment of renewable energy and energy efficiency and the number of successful programmes in this field increases constantly. However, the preparation of projects and programmes in these areas usually require a longer lead time which can be a barrier in the deployment of new renewable energy sources. The availability of funding would need to coincide with the market-readiness of a new technology and this new technology and its application would need to fit into programme priorities that were developed months or even a few years earlier. Therefore, it seems that support possibilities from these important European funds exist, however, the application potentials for new renewable energy sources might be rather limited due to the timing constraints. One very interesting approach in this context is that European funds "co-invest in programmes" which is already practiced today. However, care should be taken that it does not lead to increased bureaucratic burdens as the formal requirements of different funding bodies are cumulated. It might seem to be very interesting to further investigate this issue. 70 http://ec.europa.eu/energy/publications/doc/statistics/part_2_energy_pocket_book_2010.pdf (p.17) IP/A/ITRE/ST/2009-11 & 12 152 PE 440.278PDF Image | Policy Department Renewable Technologies
