Green City ConferencePetrovac, Montenegro9-10 October 2015
Energy Union
5 Policy areas:•Security of Supply •Fully Integrated Internal Market•Energy Efficiency•Emissions Reduction•Research and Innovation
Fuel Cells & Hydrogen technologies in the context of the European Energy policy
• Sustainability- H2 is a clean energy carrier- Transport and Energy applications,
generate electricity and heat with very high efficiency- Possibility for storage of renewable energy sources - Reduction of CO2 emissions
• Energy Security - Increase independence from unstable outside regions
• Competitiveness- research excellence leading to industry innovation and growth
1. Definition and Legal Framework

Contractual PPP'sIn cPPP's, there is a strong industry commitment as well as a ring-fenced budget. The implementation is managed through regular H2020 calls under Commission responsibility.
The five oldest contractual Public-Private Partnerships are: •European Green Vehicles Initiative (EGVI)•Photonics•Robotics•High Performance Computing (HPC)•Advanced 5G networks for the Future Internet (5G)
The three new PPPs in the "Nanotechnologies, Advanced Materials, Advanced Manufacturing and Processing, and Biotechnology" part of Horizon 2020 are: •Factories of the Future (FoF)•Energy-efficient Buildings (EeB) •Sustainable Process Industry (SPIRE)
Joint Technology Initiatives established under FP7
• First experience with setting up long-term public-private
partnerships in research at EU level
• Coordinate research efforts responding to industry needs
• Focus on fields of high industrial relevance, on key areas where
research could contribute to Europe's competitiveness' goals
• Built on European Technology Platforms
• Implemented through new legal entities - Joint Undertakings
Joint Undertakings established as Community bodies (Article 187 TFUE)
6
Criteria for identifying JTIs
• Strategic importance of the field
• Risk of market failure
• Added value at Union level
• Scale of impact on industrial competitiveness and sustainable
growth
• Long-term industry commitment
• Inadequacy of existing EU instruments
7
• Innovative Medicines Initiative (IMI 2) – RTD
• Aeronautics and Air Transport (CLEAN SKY 2)- RTD
• Fuel Cells and Hydrogen (FCH 2) –RTD
• UPDATED: Electronic Components and Systems (ECSEL) – CNCT
• NEW: Bio-Based Industries (BBI) - RTD
• NEW: Rail Research (Shift²Rail) - MOVE

Multi-annual Work-Plan 2014-2020Continuation of EU support under Horizon 2020
- EU budget: 665 mill. EUR- Objectives: reduce the (production) cost, increase the lifetime, increase the
efficiency, reduce ‘Critical raw materials’
FCH 2 JU objectives
Objective:•Assess role and commercial viability of energy storage•Assuming technology neutrality•Combining
• Evolution of energy system• Technology parameters evolution• Storage business cases• Regulatory aspects
•Includes heat and hydrogen storage for use outside of power sector•Created by coalition of 30+ organisations•Developed by McKinsey•Report downloadable from http://www.fch.europa.eu/studies

Energy Storage Study
Main conclusions
Objective:•Establish a common view on future market potential of fuel cell distributed generation•Understand various technologies, potential applications, prospects and business opportunities in light of macroeconomic scenarios
•Created by coalition of 30+ organisations•Developed by Roland Berger
•Report downloadable from http://www.fch.europa.eu/studies

Distributed CHP vs central generation
FCH JU Annual Event 2015• Place: “Charlemagne building”, Rue de la Loi 170, B-1040 Brussels, in the heart of the EU Institutions area
• 8th Stakeholder Forum : 19 November 2015 European Industry and Research communities together with decision-makers will discuss on alignment and integration of activities and instruments at Regional, National, European and International level to accelerate the commercialisation phase of Fuel Cells and Hydrogen technologies
• Programme Review Days: 17 – 18 November 2015 All FCH JU funded projects (a selection will also present) will be assessed for their progress status and the targets fixed in the multi-annual and annual work plans
Details of the programme and registration information will be available soon at www.fch.europa.eu
