Directorate-General for Energy and Transport 17 Cooperation – Collaborative Research More than M€ 1.Health 2.Food, agriculture and biotechnology 3.Information and communication technologies 4.Nanosciences, nanotechnologies, materials and new production technologies 5.Energy (likely M€) 6.Environment (including climate change) 7.Transport (including aeronautics) 8.Socio-economic sciences and the humanities 9.Security 10.Space

Directorate-General for Energy and Transport 18 Theme 5: Energy  Adapting the current energy system into a more sustainable one,  less dependent on imported fuels and based on a diverse mix of energy sources, in particular renewables, energy carriers and non polluting sources;  enhancing energy efficiency, including by rationalising use and storage of energy;  addressing the pressing challenges of security of supply and climate change, whilst increasing the competitiveness of Europe's industries.

Directorate-General for Energy and Transport 19 The Energy Theme The legal basis for the subjects to be covered is the Cooperation Specific Programme Nomenclature: Theme (Energy) Activity (correspond to the nine bullet points of the SP) – Area (intended to be stable throughout FP7, but with flexibility) » Topic (subjects open for proposals in the calls only in the year in question – change each year)  Focus only on calls open in the coming year

Directorate-General for Energy and Transport 20 Hydrogen and fuel cells Renewable electricity generation Renewable fuel production CO 2 capture and storage technologies for zero-emission power generation Smart energy networks Energy efficiency and savings Knowledge for energy policy-making Clean coal technologies Renewables for heating and cooling Theme 5: Energy

Directorate-General for Energy and Transport 21 European Commission Eco-building

Directorate-General for Energy and Transport 22 Potential for the sector in Europe 40% of the final energy consumption Since 1990 energy consumption in the domestic and tertiary sectors increased annually by 1.3% A potential of 22% energy saving could be realised in heating, cooling and lighting A balanced share between new and retrofitted buildings Rehabilitation concern 80 to 90% of the eastern countries Building stocks: Between 50 and 100 mio apartments

Directorate-General for Energy and Transport 23 The importance of the activities in relation to the political and legislative objectives Improve substantially the energy performance of the building market at a large scale transferring scientific knowledge issued from projects into stricter standards Go beyond the requirements of existing legislation and thus contributing to a further development of regulatory issues in this sector

Directorate-General for Energy and Transport 24 European Commission Concerto

Directorate-General for Energy and Transport 25 supports concrete initiatives of local communities working towards a completely integrated energy policy, harmonizing a substantial use of RES with innovative technologies and systems to minimize energy consumption and to improve the quality of citizens’ lives. WHAT IS

Directorate-General for Energy and Transport 26 Innovative Renewable energy + Energy efficiency Technologies Communities Large scale integration é Renewable energy sources é Eco-buildings é Polygeneration Large scale integration of Renewable Energy with demand management CONCERTO

Directorate-General for Energy and Transport 27 “Contractor community” with defined boundaries PV plant Wind power plant Houses with solar thermal and PV Storage Local CHP plant Neighbourhood CHP Individual houses Office buildings ESCO Natural Gas Electricity Small industry SMEs Big industry Green electricity Green electricity Storage

Directorate-General for Energy and Transport 29 Long term commitment to sustainable development CONCERTO 5 years 10 Years Planning Action Market Typical status of observer communities Typical status of contractor communities

Directorate-General for Energy and Transport 30 Significant increase in the share of RES supply (green electricity, heating / cooling) Eco-buildings integrating on-site RES with energy efficient building design and management Polygeneration / CHP / district heating (ideally using biomass) Intelligent management / control of demands, local distribution grids, and distributed generation Storage to cover variability of RES supply (daily and seasonal variations) should be addressed Integration of RES and RUE

Directorate-General for Energy and Transport 31 A typical community should: be of a representative size work towards ambitious goals produce visible and recognisable impacts enjoy a strong political commitment already have plans for sustainable development Typical characteristics of a Community

Directorate-General for Energy and Transport 32 What is an “Observer Community” ? Community is committed to CONCERTO initiative, but not ready to co-finance demonstration actions, so costs in CONCERTO project will be low. Committed to work with others and to replicate best practice May have different local problems and plans compared with contractor communities Should have a clear role in the project work programme - participation in specific Tasks (especially dissemination) and Deliverables
