  1. European Commission AER Committee C Meeting The Regions and the Lisbon Strategy “EU Energy Policy and the Lisbon and Goteborg Strategy“ Mariàngels Pérez Latorre Exeter, Devon 20 Octobre 2005

  2. European Commission The Energy Sector in Europe, EU-25 Where are we? • Constant increase in global consumption mainly in transport and households, • Constant increase in electricity production, Consequently: • In spite high increase in renewable production its share in total consumption stagnates,

  3. European Commission Gross Energy Consumption EU-25

  4. European Commission Gross EnergyConsumption EU-25, 1725 Mtoe in 2005

  5. European Commission Gross Energy Consumption EU-25 Renewable Sources

  6. European Commission Gross Energy Consumption EU-25 Biomass and Waste

  7. European Commission Community Legislation • RES Elect. Directive • Bio-fuels Directive • Directive on the taxation of energy products • Buildings Directive • CHP Directive • Eco-design Directive • Energy Services Directive

  8. European Commission Community Programmes • Research on RES (since 1974) • FP RTD (since 1984) • SAVE ( since 1992) • Altener (since 1994) • Intelligent Energy Europe (2003-2006) CIP (2007-2013) • Support to local agencies • Public Awareness Campaigns

  9. European Commission Which is the current situation at EU level? • At EU level the legislative framework is almost completed with measures taken in both renewable and efficiency fields, • Research, innovation and other energy related programmes support projects in both fields Is this enough ?

  10. European Commission Where we are (1) Trends in last 10 years: • Increase in consumption • Increase in RES production, but • Stagnation of RES share on gross energy consumption • Poor action on energy efficiency • Weak market penetration compared with actual progress in technology+innovation in Europe

  11. European Commission Where we are (2) Persistent Weakness: • Lack of development of mid and long term • Deficit of public/private partnership • Lack of coordinated action in both demand and supply sides • Deficit of cities/regions partnership • Lack of awareness of both decision makers and consumers

  12. European Commission Main Priorities Legislation • Improve energy efficiency • Biomass & Biofuels Action Plan Financial Perspectives (2007-2013) • RTD FP 7th • Intelligent Energy Europe - Competitiveness & Innovation Programme • Structural Funds

  13. European Commission Green Paper on Energy Efficiency “Doing more with less” COM(2005)265 final of 22.6.2005 Main figures: • Savings, by 2020, the equivalent to 20% of current EU energy consumption • Savings, by 2020, € 60million per year or • Saving combined energy consumption of both Germany and Finland

  14. European Commission Biomass Action Plan • Current use (2002): 61 Mtoe/year • Objective 2010: 135 Mtoe/year Efforts to reach 2010 objective of 12% • Electricity: + 32 Mtoe/year • Heat: + 24 Mtoe/year • Biofuels: + 18 Mtoe/year

  15. European Commission EU support programmes RTD FP 7th • In FP 6th actions as “Concerto” and “Civitas” are devoted to demonstrate how to integrate RES & RUE. Good examples available useful to develop energy planning in regions and cities

  16. Energy RTD: capacity increases, efficiency increases, cost reductions • Renewable Energies • Wind • Biomass and waste • Small Hydro’ • Geothermal • Solar energy • Ocean PV for buildings

  17. European Commission RTD FP 7th - Chapter 5. Energy • Hydrogen and fuel cells • Renewable electricity generation • Renewable fuel production • Renewables for heating and cooling • Energy savings and energy efficiency • CO2 capture and storage technologies for zero emission power generation • Clean coal technologies • Smart energy networks • Knowledge for energy policy making

  18. European Commission EU support programmes IE-E in CIP • Intelligent Energy Europe I building in Altener and Save I & II supports capacity building action in energy, including regional or local legislation development and implementation, and promotional action to raise awareness in energy matters

  19. European Commission EU Public Awareness Campaign Sustainable Energy Europe • 2005-2008 • Funded under EI-E • Budget of million euro 3.7 • Lunched in June 2005 by Energy Commissioner Mr. Piebalgs • Information in www.sustenergy.org

  20. European Commission

  21. European Commission Main Priorities “Sustainable Energy Europe” focuses on main sustainable energy sectors that contribute to the Community Strategy on Sustainable Development: • Renewable energy sources • Energy efficiency • Clean transport and fuels

  22. European Commission Aim of the Campaign “Sustainable Energy Europe” is designed to bring about a genuine change in behavior by the main players concerned so they commit themselves to move towards efficient, clean and sustainable energy production and consumption schemes

  23. European Commission Campaigning Areas Sustainable Energy Cities Sustainable Energy Towns Sustainable Energy Islands Sustainable Energy Co-operation Sustainable Energy Buildings Sustainable Energy Lighting & Appliances Sustainable Energy Transport Sustainable Energy Promotion

  24. European Commission Main activities “Sustainable Energy Europe” campaign will be supported by the following: LOGO – WEB SITE – SUSTAINABLE ENERGY PARTNERSHIPS – SUPPORT TO PARTNERS – AWARDS – ANNUAL CONFERENCE – MEDIA CONTACTS – EXHIBITION & TRADE SHOWS – PUBLICATIONS – VIDEOS – NEWS RELEASES www.sustenergy.com

  25. European Commission Privileged partners “Sustainable Energy Europe” will support main stakeholders promotional activity: National governments - Regions - Municipalities - Energy agencies – Energy services companies - Industry manufacturers – Utilities – Energy companies – Building developers - Agro and forest industry - Consumers assoc. Industry and farmers assoc. - Financial institutions - Domestic and external trade assoc. - Non-government organizations – Cooperation institutions

  26. European Commission Thank you for your Attention Mariàngels Pérez Latorre
