3. Current set of Focus Areas for 2014/15 Calls

4. Energy Societal Challenge  “The strategic orientations for the Work Programme 2016-17 will put a stronger emphasis on the security, sustainability and affordability of our energy system on all levels (from supply to demand). More attention will also be given to the role of the consumer in the energy system as an active player managing its demand and being part of the energy supply”.  The Work Programme 2016-17 will continue to be structured along the following focus areas:  Energy Efficiency (buildings, heating and cooling, industry products and services, innovative financing)  Competitive Low-Carbon Energy Technologies (renewable electricity and heating/cooling technologies, integration of smart grids with storage technologies, sustainable alternative fuels, decarbonisation of energy-intensive industries)  Smart Cities and Communities with nature-based Solutions (new energy management models for building stock and urban mobility)

5. 2014 Horizon 2020 Energy Calls – Main Results Overall results  815 eligible proposals submitted and 116 retained for funding (= a slightly lower success rate than the final FP7 Energy calls)  €529 million allocated to successful proposals; which is an average of €4.6 million per project (= smaller than the final FP7 calls) UK results  64 of the 116 successful proposals had UK involvement.  121 UK organisations involved in successful proposals as participants or coordinators. Some proposals involved several UK participants, and 10% of successful participants are from the UK (= higher than in FP7)  Success rate for UK participants was one in six (= higher than the overall average for the 2014 calls).  €57 million of the €529 million budget allocated to proposals with UK involvement (= an increase compared to the final FP7 calls).  Most successful areas for the UK = 17% of the €57 million went to projects in Renewable Energy, 13% to Smart Cities projects, 7% to Energy Efficiency projects and 5.5% to Smart Grids projects. Overall results for first calls across Horizon 2020  Circa 26,000 proposals submitted and 3,800 funded  Overall EC contribution of €5.4 billion and 20% budget target to SMEs achieved

6. 2014 Horizon 2020 Energy Calls – Main Results Scottish results  5 Scottish organisations are involved in 4 successful projects, for a total value of €964,000.  24 submitted proposals involved Scottish organisations.  The organisations involved in successful projects are:  Dundee University  Robert Gordon University  Marine Scotland  Optimat Limited  Nova Innovation Overall Scottish results  €38.5 million awarded to Scotland across Horizon 2020, which is around 10% of the total amount of funding awarded to the UK in the 2014 calls. Around 80% of the Scottish total awarded to HEIs and around 15% to SMEs.

7. 2014 Horizon 2020 Energy Calls – Ocean and Wind Results Technology development (LCE2)  45 proposals submitted at stage 2, including 4 ocean proposals and 8 wind proposals. 8 proposals selected for funding overall.  None of the ocean proposals were selected.  One of the wind proposals was selected - 50+ project (covered in case study presentation.  Other funded projects were in solar, geothermal and micro CHP. Technology demonstration (LCE3)  28 proposals submitted including 6 ocean proposals and 5 wind proposals.  7 proposals selected for funding.  1 ocean proposal was selected - CEFOW: http://cordis.europa.eu/project/rcn/195136_en.html which involves several UK organisations as partners.http://cordis.europa.eu/project/rcn/195136_en.html  2 wind proposals were selected: Riblet4Wind http://cordis.europa.eu/project/rcn/196901_en.html - EoN are UK partner, and EcoSwing http://cordis.europa.eu/project/rcn/195203_en.html.http://cordis.europa.eu/project/rcn/196901_en.htmlhttp://cordis.europa.eu/project/rcn/195203_en.html  Other funded projects were in GSHP, ORC, solar, geothermal. Market uptake (LCE4)  21 proposals submitted including 2 offshore renewable energy projects and 1 wind project.  6 proposals selected for funding, including one renewable energy project.

8. Project Example - CrowdFundRES Unleashing the Potential of Crowdfunding to Finance Renewable Energy Projects  Coordination and Support Action project  Aims to:  Analyse the challenges faced by the application of crowdfunding for renewable energy projects in Europe.  Develop guidelines to support easier, more effective and wider accepted practices in crowdfunding renewable energy projects.  Apply the guidelines and review them based on practical experience.  Improve the market and regulatory framework.  Promote the crowdfunding concept and its advantages among those who could contribute or raise funds.  Dundee University involved with 13 other European partners (nearly all private sector).  Overall EU contribution of €1.9 million (€277,000 to Dundee).  Project runs until 2018.

9. Project Example - RiCORE Risk Based Consenting of Offshore Renewable Energy Projects  Coordination and Support Action project  Aims to:  Establish a risk-based approach to consenting where the level of survey requirement is based on the environmental sensitivity of the site, the risk profile of the technology and the scale of the proposed project.  Study the legal framework in place in EU countries to ensure the framework developed will be applicable for roll out across these Member States and further afield.  Ensure cost efficient delivery of the necessary surveys, improve knowledge sharing and reduce non- technical barriers to the development of the Offshore Renewable Energy sector in delivering clean and secure energy.  Overall EU contribution of €1.4 million (€363,000 to Robert Gordon University and €148,000 to Marine Scotland).  RGU coordinates the project and Marine Scotland involved as a partner. 4 other European partners.  Project runs until mid-2016.

10. Project Example – CEPPI 2 Coordinated Energy Related PPIs for Cities  Coordination and Support Action project  Aims to:  Build capacity in cities on how to achieve more sustainable energy solutions through a pro- innovation procurement approach.  Demonstrate this by selectively intervening in scheduled public tenders. The interventions will involve 5 cities with different economic & political situations & provide the case-based evidence for replication by others.  Project builds on established relationships between the 5 cities through the Climate-KIC  Overall EU contribution of €1.3 million (€125,000 to Optimat Limited).  Optimat Limited involved as partner. 8 other European partners including Birmingham City Council as Coordinator.  Project runs until 2018.
