Mission of EERA

� EERA supports the EU SET-Plan by accelerating the development of energy technologies through joint R&D

� Mandated by the SET-Plan Steering Group, EERA develops and implements strategic research objectives.

� EERA reinforces Europe’s role by supporting the competitiveness of industry at international level.

� The joint research efforts will have significant added value and attract key energy research organisations.

� The relevance of research will be enhanced in close cooperation with Member States, the EC and industry to support the political and industrial SET-PLAN objectives.

EERA: joint programming

What kind of cooperation can be foreseen?• Harmonisation of research programmes

− Exchange of information

− Exchange of personnel

− Common strategy to tackle (new) research questions� Too many topics for a single institute� Avoid fragmentation, ensure complementary of programmes� Agree on who does what (and share results)

• Facilities− Sharing of facilities

− Building new facilities� Owned by multiple institutes

Insufficient for EERA

A breakthrough

Energy research programmes of the EU


Energy efficiency and the rational use of energy (SAVE)

Improvement of energy efficiency and the rational use of resources in the industry,

products and building sectors.

New and renewable resources (ALTENER)

Funding is provided to increase the share of renewables in the production of

electricity, heat and cooling, and to integrate them in the local energy systems.

Examples of supported actions:

• Tackling non-technological barriers to speed up the introduction of wind energy

onto the EU's energy market

• Developing training schemes for installers of small-scale renewable energy

systems.

Energy in transport (STEER)

Energy savings and energy efficiency in the transport sector, including stimulation of

demand for alternative fuels and clean and energy-efficient vehicles.

LIFE+ Programme

Objective: Community environmental policy

and legislation, including the integration of

the environment into other policies.

Research programmes of the EU

Finances demonstration projects bridging the gap between

research funding and access to venture capital. Project

themes include energy production and distribution,

renewable energy technologies, energy-efficiency in different

areas as well as the reduction of greenhouse gases. LIFE+ runs

from 2007-2013 and has a total budget of EUR 2.143 billion.

HORIZON 2020 – WORK PROGRAMME 2014-2015 -DRAFT

Secure, clean and efficient energy(Source: http://ec.europa.eu/research/horizon2020/index_en.cfm?pg=h2020-documents)

Horizon2020: What‘s in it for Geothermal Research?

LCE 2 – 2014/2015: Developing the next generation technologies of renewable

electricity and heating/cooling

Deep geothermal energy

Development of new technologies and concepts for geothermal energy –

New technologies and concepts for geothermal energy are necessary to increase

the number of economically viable geothermal resources, including in hard rock

and high temperature/pressure conditions, and to have a demonstrably smaller

environmental footprint to existing technologies. Crossfertilisation with

hydrothermal oil and gas technologies and operations shall be explored.

LCE 3 – 2014/2015: Demonstration of renewable electricity and

heating/cooling technologies

Renewable Heating and Cooling

i. Shallow geothermal energy: Improved vertical borehole drilling technologies

to enhance safety and reduce costs – Shallow geothermal energy systems are

ideally suited to meet the ambitious energy saving targets of the EU. They can

provide heating and/or cooling or both. Further improvement of the efficiency

of shallow geothermal systems and reduction of installation costs are needed to

increase deployment of these geothermal systems for the heating & cooling

market.


HORIZON 2020 – WORK PROGRAMME 2014-2015

DRAFT

contd.

In 2015, the following technology-specific challenges have to be addressed:

Deep geothermal energy: Testing of enhanced geothermal systems in different geological environments –

• Widespread deployment of enhanced geothermal systems (EGS) needs new and improved models and innovative solutions are needed to routinely create EGS reservoirs with sufficient permeability, fracture orientation and spacing. Cross-fertilisation with hydrothermal fields and cross-fertilisation with tight oil and gas fields can be explored.

Technological innovation related to the integration of renewable

generation in the industrial and residential sectors can be

addressed in the Energy Efficiency call or Smart Cities and

Communities call. Improving the energy efficiency of district

heating and cooling networks is addressed in the Energy

Efficiency call.

B – Heating and cooling

• EE 13 – 2014/2015: Technology for district heating and cooling

• EE 14 - 2014/2015: Removing market barriers to the uptake of

efficient heating and cooling solutions
