Clean Power Generation Technology for Europe

The Solution

The Problem

FENCO Overall Objectives

• Set up of an ERA-NET for the development of a technology path that gives the opportunity to share knowledge and funding options for a step-by-step improvement of fossil energy technologies.

• This ERA-NET will link the R&D and demonstration needs of EU member states, the EU industry and academia on an extended European level to describe a technology path towards low and near zero emission power plants.

• Establishment of a critical mass Europe wide initiative that will enable the EU fossil fuel technology industry to be competitive in the world market

Increasing complexity in-tune with market development

Issues – Drivers for FENCO

Global energy projections mean that fossil fuels will be required for several decades

Renewable energy will only become significant in the energy mix in time – a portfolio approach needed

Developing countries (e.g. China) have to be engaged if global climate change is really tackled

The acceptability of nuclear power

Global climate change (up to and post 2050) targets will need full range of solutions

Security of energy supply implicationsEconomics!!

A major transitional issue will be clean use of fossil fuels

Carbon Abatement Technologies (CAT) strategy (UK) improved efficiency

fuel switch/co-firing/retrofit

CO2 capture/storage

COORETEC Concept (DE)

“Snap Shot” of US Position

Clean Fossil Fuel Technologies firmly established as key component of carbon reduction strategy

18% reduction in carbon intensity by 2012, backed by RTD and D initiatives

Clean Coal Plant Improvement programme : 2b US$ over next decade

CO2 Capture and Storage budget for 2004 requested at 60m US$ from a `zero` position less than 5 years ago

US regional networks established Futuregen Project launched with 1b US$, 80% from

USDOE : electricity and hydrogen plant with CO2

sequestration

Strong competition from USA on world markets

US Industry set to take the lead on low-to-zero emission technologies

benefit from US DOE and other support to the detriment of Europe in European and

world markets Establishment of the Carbon Sequestration

Leadership Forum (CSLF)

European Response

Vital that Europe responds in an effective way Critical mass initiative to ensure that Europe

can compete on world markets Sector wide initiative bringing together

industry, academia and governments Combination of national Member State and

EC RTDD programmes with industry and research community

Thrust towards carbon management strategy for power generation with fossil fuels

What needed to be done

Mechanism introduced under EC FP6 ERA-NET scheme

possible to take a two stage approach Specific Supported Action (SSA) followed by

a Co-ordination Action (CA) to be initiated by (quasi) government

organisations of Member States link to industry and national aims and

objectives e.g. POWER21, Thematic Networks, etc.

Many different Member States addressing energy policy

Initiative taken by Germany and UK both countries in a similar position of defining future energy

policy good support from Portugal and Greece interest expressed by Austria, Denmark and Poland plus

other countries

R&D programmes

FENCO SSA Progress (2)

Country visits to engage new partners2nd Workshop, London 25/26 March 200412 countries and 4 stakeholder groups participateDG RTD presentation – extremely supportive of FENCO

initiativePowerClean presentation – FENCO is complementaryRequirements for programme database discussedPriorities for fossil fuels ERA-NET were debated with the

importance of strategic issues and development of joint programmes being recognised

FENCO SSA Progress (3)

Further country visits (Denmark, Spain and Greece)3rd Workshop, Berlin 28/29 June 200412 countries participate: this implies their intent to

join the FENCO CAIndividual country interest, experience and

aspirations assessed Agreement on FENCO CA outline and scopeActions for proposal preparation

FENCO SSA Progress (4)

Working groups convene July/August 2004 to progress proposal – meetings at Jülich, London and Lisbon

4th Workshop, Brussels 20/21 September 2004 to finalise technical and financial detail of FENCO CA proposal
