 Obiettivo del progetto (Objective)

'One of the priorities of the Flemish government during the Belgian EU presidency will be the implementation of the Strategic Energy Technology (SET) plan. Launched by the European Commission, the plan is the EU's response to the challenge of accelerating the development of low carbon technologies, leading to their widespread market take-up. In this regard it will be one of the pillars to reach the climate and energy targets for 2020.

The EWI department in collaboration with the European Commission will organise the SET plan conference in which an overview will be given of the current state of play of the SET plan. The conference will host the launch of two European Industrial Initiatives (EIIs) for Bioenergy and Nuclear energy. These Industrial Initiatives are industry driven and aim to strengthen industrial energy research and innovation by mobilising the necessary critical mass of activities and actors. The conference will also provide the platform to launch additional Joint Programmes for the European Energy Research Alliance (EERA).

In addition the conference will initiate the reflection on the international dimension of the SET-Plan since Europe needs to build on a comprehensive but realistic 'European' international cooperation strategy for energy technologies. With this international cooperation, EWI and the European Commission are aiming at a global approach regarding renewable energy technology to develop a pathway to a low carbon economy.'

Introduzione (Teaser)

A recent conference in Belgium on energy technology has brought stakeholders together to discuss alternative energies and map the road to a low-carbon future.

Descrizione progetto (Article)

The EU's recently envisioned Strategic Energy Technology Plan (SET-Plan) has encouraged development of low-carbon technologies, representing a much needed drive for Europe to meet its 2020 climate and energy goals. This was also the main objective of the EU-funded 'Strategic Energy Technology plan conference 2010, Brussels' (Setbru).

Held in the Belgian capital, the conference was the fourth of its kind and aimed to enlighten interested parties on the progress of a low-carbon future. It attracted over 500 participants from research, industry and academic circles, providing valuable opportunities for networking as well. Topics discussed in the conference included progress in wind, solar and electric energy, as well as fuel cells, hydrogen fuel, bioenergy, nuclear energy and establishment of smart cities.

In addition, Setbru explored ways to develop a unified European strategy for worldwide collaboration and coordination regarding science, technology and innovation under the SET-Plan. It raised awareness regarding the plan among major stakeholders in the sector and set the stage for stronger global cooperation, involving international organisations and highlighting best practices in energy technology.

Overall, the conference attracted high-level players from previous SET-Plan conferences and others in the energy sector, including EU policymakers. All its conclusions, presentations and results have been posted online for interested parties and key players to access. The conference represents the latest SET effort in striving for a brighter, more energy efficient future that could potentially enable the world to build a cleaner environment.
