3. EUROGIA+ : Mission
4. Towards the 3rd industrial revolution? As demonstrated by the economist Jeremy Rifkin, the third industrial revolution rests on three pillars to be developed simultaneously in a completely integrated manner. These three pillars are: renewable energy sources, energy storage technologies and intelligent energy networks.
To optimise renewable energy and reduce its costs, it is necessary to develop storage technologies which will convert intermittent renewable energy into reliable energy sources. Hydrogen should be used as a storage vector for all renewable energy sources, thus making them viable. To this end, hydrogen will need to be produced from all energy sources (starting today from natural gas, nuclear and renewable) to develop the necessary technologies needed to achieve the hydrogen economy.

5. Technology R&D Needs The chapter identified technology RD&D needs for various sectors.
Power Generation
Both the ACT Map and BLUE Map scenarios require high shares of renewable generation (35% and 46% respectively) and this will require significant RD&D breakthroughs in wind, solar, biomass, and (to a lesser extent) hydro and geothermal power generation. For CCS technologies, RD&D needs to be directed to reducing capture cost and improving overall system efficiencies, and storage integrity and monitoring. For nuclear technologies, although in principle the ACT Map and BLUE Map scenarios can be delivered with existing Generation III and Generation III+ technologies, RD&D is needed for Generation IV technologies and the associated fuel cycles which will help to reduce costs, minimize nuclear waste and enhance safety.
Industry
Both the ACT Map and BLUE Map scenarios is dependent on a wide range of innovative industrial technology developments including materials and product efficiency, process innovation, fuel and feedstock substitution, and CCS. In particular, various industry-related CCS technologies and fuel and feedstock substitutions require strong RD&D breakthroughs. The chapter identified technology RD&D needs for various sectors.

18. CO2 FieldLab project objectives A standardized set of monitoring protocols will need to be defined and accepted to enable financing and project insurance and to monetize carbon credits under evolving carbon regulatory regimes.
EU: if leakage occurs, emission credits must be surrendered and the site stabilized

This is what is behind the concept of smart grid. A concept we are seeing increasingly presented as a potential important contributor to the global efficiency of the system.
