Strategic goals to

• Accelerate the development and

deployment of cost-effective low carbon technologies

• Maintain EU industrial leadership on low-

carbon energy technologies

• Foster science for transforming energy

technologies to achieve the 2020 Energy and Climate Change goals

EU tackling energy challenges in frame of SET Plan (strategic energy technologies – 2008), the technology pillar of EU’s energy and climate change policy

By 2020

• 20% reduction of CO2 emissions
• 20% share of energy from low-carbon energy sources
• 20% reduction in use of primary energy through energy efficiency

• Low carbon energy technologies need constant INNOVATION
• These innovations are enabled by Advanced Materials (no Materials, no Energy !)
• SET Plan needed to be “translated” into the SET Plan Materials Roadmap
• Strong involvement of key Industrials & Research organizations
• Led to EMIRI (end 2012) with focus on Industrial Leadership and reinforcement of

public & private interactions for effective & efficient innovation

3

SET Plan Materials Roadmap followed (end 2011) and led later to creation of EMIRI (2012)

• Latest in terms of roadmap is the SET Plan Integrated

Roadmap (released early 2015)

• Nearly 50 stakeholder organizations consulted
• EMIRI in Working Group - Focus on Advanced Materials
• 50 pages without Annexes – 350 pages with Annexes
• Broad coverage and need to prioritize resource-

allocation to offer clarity & predictability to Industry

• Need for implementation vehicle in Horizon 2020

EMIRI works for the future of Advanced Materials for low carbon energy (LCE) in Europe

4

EMIRI is a pan-European initiative spanning Innovation & Manufacturing of Advanced Materials for LCE

5

Europe must seize the opportunity to establish industrial leadership in Advanced Materials for LCE or it will be

• vercome by global competition

6

Conservative estimate of Europe-based industry of Advanced Materials for low carbon energy and its potential for policy-driven growth

• Capacity for production of low carbon energy is already developing outside EU
• Manufacturing of devices, components, Advanced Materials is moving to end-markets
• Innovation centers are also following the trend with some delay
• This creates future dependency risks on imported low carbon energy technologies

Similar analysis is stressed in New Commission’s Energy Union – Actions are now expected by business world

“An innovation-driven transition to a low carbon economy offers great opportunities for growth and jobs … Technological leadership must be followed by the development of industrial production capabilities or technology supply chains across Europe. This requires bringing together research, industry, the financing sector and public authorities. An efficient industrial strategy along these lines will enable the EU industry to benefit from the first- mover advantage … with the resulting positive effects on competitiveness and job creation.”

Innovation is indeed key to industrial leadership of EU

EMIRI calls for the creation in EU of an Innovation Pillar

8

• EMIRI supports the development in EU of policies crucially needed for the market pull &

the technology push (innovation) of the low carbon energy technologies

• Society will benefit from reinforced presence in EU of a competitive industry

generating growth & jobs, developing innovation ecosystems, enabling Energy Union

• EMIRI calls for an Innovation Pillar based on a strong public private partnership

and engaging actors along the value chain

• The Innovation Pillar will bridge the gap

between lab & market, reduce innovation risks and accelerate innovation to reach faster and better the market

• The Innovation Pillar will build on 4

components (see next slide) implementing Advanced Materials priorities selected from SET Plan Integrated Roadmap

Challenge 1 Advanced Materials for Energy Efficiency Key Component 1 Key Component 2 Key Component 3 Key Component 4 Advanced Materials to increase the energy performance of buildings Advanced Materials to make renewable electricity technologies competitive Advanced Materials to enable energy system integration (energy storage, grids) Advanced Materials enabling the decarbonisation of power sector

Advanced Materials for high performance & durable coatings Advanced Materials for the weight reduction of structural and functional components in wind energy technology Advanced Materials for lower cost, high safety, long cycle life & environmentally- friendly electrochemical batteries Advanced Materials for the affordable implementation of carbon capture & storage Advanced Materials & new deposition processes for building-integrated photovoltaics Advanced Materials to improve the corrosion resistance of structural and functional components in wind energy technology Advanced Materials for lower cost storage

• f energy in the form of hydrogen,

methane, other molecules (power to gas / chemicals) Advanced Materials for the utilization of CO2 Advanced Materials for thermal energy storage Advanced Materials and processes for high yield, large scale manufacturing of solar energy harvesting systems Advanced Materials to facilitate the integration of storage technologies in the electrical grid Advanced Materials and processesfor high efficiency solar energy harvesting

Advanced Materials for a "competitive, efficient, secure, sustainable & flexible energy system" Challenge 2 Advanced Materials as "key enablers" tackling EU Energy Challenges INNOVATION TRACKS (non-exhaustive list)

Challenge-orientation In line with industrial capabilities & needs TRL >=4 to 7
