Presentation Transcript

  1. Joint Research Centre – Institute for Energy http://www.jrc.ec.europa.eu

  2. The challenges: • Worsening climate change and emissions…

  3. Increasing dependence on imported oil and other fossil fuels…

  4. Rising energy costs • and falling competitiveness

  5. So sustainability, security of supply and competitiveness are the goals of EU energy policy

  6. Institute for Energy (IE) The mission of the IE is to provide support to Community policies related to both nuclear and non nuclear energy in order to ensure sustainable, safe, secure and efficient energy production, distribution and use.

  7. IE Organigramme Institute Director G. De Santi Advisor on Scientific Strategy R. Hurst Assistant to the Director C. Hunter Safety, Environment and Security J. de Haas Quality Manager A. Kuusisto Management Support J. Pijls Cleaner Energy M. Steen Energy Systems Evaluation S. Peteves Renewable Energy H. Ossenbrink Energy Security R. May Safety of Future Nuclear Reactors L. Debarberis (acting) Safety of Present Nuclear Reactors M. Bieth Programme Management & Support J-P. Hirvonen

  8. Integration of Energy Activities within JRC • - H2 & Fuel Cells • - Bio-energy (incl. waste) • - Technology assessment & modelling • - Renewable Energy • Energy Efficiency (buildings, transport appliances) • - Energy Security • Carbon capture & storage • Nuclear Safety: • Current and Next Gen reactors • Fuel Cycle • Waste management - Energy/transport/climate change scenarios & modelling - Socio-economic studies - BAT/BREFS BAT: Best Available Technique - BREF: BAT Reference document

  9. Focus of JRC Research in the Energy Landscape • Hydrogen and fuel cells (FCH) • Renewables (PV, Solar) • Bio-energy (2nd Generation Biofuels ) • Energy Efficiency (transport, buildings, appliances) • Energy systems modelling (Techno, Socio-economic SET Plan SETIS Security of Energy (Energy Observatory) • Energy systems (infrastructures) • Energy supply Nuclear Safety • Current & next generation reactors • Fuel Cycle • Waste management

  10. EU Energy Technology Policy SEER (EPE) JRC-IE involvement in SET-Plan Clearing House SNE-TP FISSION EFFICIENCY ESTI Facility OTHER RES FUSION SET Plan JRC SETIS H2& FC Facilities PV TP H2 & FC SOLAR-PV HFP FC & H2 JTI CLEAN FOSSIL SMART GRIDS BIOENERGY Smart Grids TP ZEP Flagship progr.

  11. Example of JRC contribution to SETIS Potential of technologies Graphic illustration of the JRC technology map of the SET Plan

  12. Total R&D investments to low-carbon technology II.2 – Capacities Maps 2007/8: Results

  13. Hydrogen storage & fuel cell facilities JRC Laboratories: Reference function in the H2 FC JTI Source: JRC-IE Safety and performance assessment of hydrogenstorage - gaseous and solid state Performance testing of fuel cells and fuel cell systems under simulated service conditions JTI : Joint Technology Initiative

  14. Members of the Clearing House consortium: Nuclear Regulators from Finland, Hungary, Lithuania, The Netherlands, Romania, Slovenia, Switzerland Observer : Spain Ongoing : France, Germany, Belgium), IAEA, NEA, … Clearinghouse for Operational Experience Feedback at JRC • Lessons learned from incidents • Learning from others

  15. Euratom signs up to GIF Framework Agreement JRC: Implementing Agent for EURATOM

  16. Activities in support to TACIS Nuclear safety enhancement in the former Soviet Union S&T support to DG AIDCO for TACIS Nuclear Safety programme. Examples of Contributions: JRC support allowed AIDCO to successfully contract: 63 projects contracted in 2003 by AIDCO for a value of 64 M€ 42 projects contracted in 2004 by AIDCO for a value of 65 M€ 43 projects contracted in 2005 by AIDCO for a value of 47 M€ 58 projects contracted in 2006 by AIDCO for a value of 60 M€ Source: JRC-IE

  17. European Solar Test Installation PV Electricity cost [€/kWh] = Cost / Std-Power [€/Wstd] / Lifetime [years] / Solar yield [kWh/Wstd/year] Calibration Artificial Ageing PV-GIS

  18. Photo-voltaic Potential • PV-GIS : Solar Resources as complied by JRC using satelite and land measurements. • Cumulative PV installed capacity in EU Member States

  19. Biofuels: Well-To-Wheel Analysis Issue: Well-To-Wheels Analysis of different Fuel/Vehicle concepts. JRC Work: JRC/EUCAR/CONCAWE have developed a broad study on present and future fuel/vehicle combinations to calculate their greenhouse-gasses emissions, energy consumption and associated costs. Impact: Commission DGs (TREN, AGRI, ENV, RTD, ECFIN) European Parliament, Member States, IEA, EEA Industry (ENGVA, eBio, EBB,…) The report is available online: http://ies.jrc.ec.europa.eu/WTW Source: JRC-IES/CONCAWE/EUCAR

  20. hydrogen pathways OIL PRICE 50€/bbl (78$/barrel) Compressed biogas Liquid fuels from wood:free-standing processes Ethanol from straw cost of replacing diesel or gasoline (€/tonne) Conventional biofuels in EU Conventional biofuels: bioethanol processes biodiesel processes Advanced biofuels processes: wood to DME wood to liquids commercial processes Liquid fuels from wood: integrated in paper mills

  21. Role of JRC-IE in Energy Policy • To be the Scientific & Technical Reference within the EC in support of European policy-makers (DGs, EP…) • To be a strong Scientific & Technical partner collaborating with Centres of Excellence in Energy in the Member States. (via FP7, JTIs, Networking, MoUs, …) • To represent the EC in International fora (GIF, IAEA, OECD, IPHE, CSLF, etc.).
