Strategic Collaboration on energy‐related R&I – before and beyond RePowerEU

Strategic collaboration on European energy related R&I – before and beyond RePowerEU Abstract The European Strategic Energy Technology Plan (SET Plan) has been a successful way of organizing the collaboration between industry, research and national governments/EU Commission. The future of this ‘modus operandi’ is under revision in 2022, and will therefore be elaborated in this talk by Dr. Bysveen. She is from the not-for profit research institute SINTEF, and Norway, and she holds several key roles in the SET plan on CCUS. An overview of how European funding on energy is organized will be presented. This includes national funding, Horizon Europe, the upcoming, large Clean Energy Technology Partnership (CETP), Innovation Fund – and Connecting Europe Facility (CEF). A success-story from CCUS on collaborative partnerships funding R&I by national governments will be given – namely ERA NET ACT (Accelerating CCUS Technologies). An introduction to the roles of the European Energy Research Alliance (EERA) and the European Technology and Innovation Platform ZEP towards the European Commission will also be given – focusing on their advisory role on behalf of R&I and industry, respectively. Finally – a few words will be given on the way forward, and the role of such collaborative efforts following up RePowerEU.
