ContextContext

By 2020 By 2020 –– the three 20s:the three 20s:• 20% reduction in greenhouse gas emissions compared to

1990 levels (30% if global agreement)

• 20% reduction in global primary energy use (through energy efficiency)

• 20% of renewable energy in the EU's overall mix (minimum target for bio fuels of 10% of vehicle fuel)

By 2050 : indicative 60 to 80% reduction in GHGBy 2050 : indicative 60 to 80% reduction in GHG

Why a SET Plan?Why a SET Plan?

Technology is a key component for the success or Technology is a key component for the success or failure of a European energy policyfailure of a European energy policy

no chance to reach the ambitious goals without a unprecedented stimulation of the development of low carbon energy technologies we need to tackle both short and long term perspective

ST: reinforced research and pro-active support measuresLT: development of new generation of technologies through breakthroughs (FET Basic Research)

no country is strong enough to act alone – a coordinated effort of all stakeholders (MS, EC, industry, research centres, universities, funding organisations, etc.) required
