  1. SIXTH FRAMEWORK PROGRAMME [6.1] [ Sustainable Energy Systems] Introduction to the NEEDS project Andrea Ricci, coordinator ISIS Cairo, 28 January 2008

  2. NEEDSNew Energy ExternalitiesDevelopment for Sustainability • Integrated Project within FP6 • Duration: 48 months (+6), started September 2004 • 66 partners (15% are SMEs), representing Universities, Research Institutions, Industry and NGOs from 27 Countries (19 EU members, 3 MED, 5 ‘Other’) • Leading partners: • ISIS (IT) – Coordinator • DLR (DE) • IER Stuttgart (DE) • OME (FR) • Uni Prague (CZ) • CNR-IMAA (IT) • PSI (CH) • SWECO (NO) • 1118 p.m; 11.7 MEuro (7.6 MEuro financed by EC)

  3. Overall objective To evaluate the full costs and benefits (i.e. direct + external) of energy policies and of future energy systems, both at the level of individual countries and for the enlarged EU as a whole

  4. Objectives and targetedinnovation • Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) of new energy technologies for which the current LCA knowledge is insufficient • Monetary valuation of externalities associated to energy production, transport, conversion and use, with major innovation in : • methods • impacts so far insufficiently addressed • availability and reliability of quantitative evidence • Development of a consistent and robust analytical platform allowing to integrate the full range of information and data on LCA and external costs into a Pan-European modelling framework

  5. Objectives and targeted innovation (2) • Technology roadmap and stakeholders perspective • terms and conditions for an effective formulation and implementation of long term strategies based on the internalisation of external costs • robustness of the research results under various stakeholder perspectives • Transferability and generalisation • calculating, transferring and presenting the uncertainty of default values for average/aggregate external costs • Integration • structured “protocol” to facilitate the widespread use of the integrated analysis framework

  6. The NEEDS products • Reports, including • (i) documents that illustrate methodological issues, the science behind them and the process that has led to their development • (ii) documents that present the results obtained (both qualitative and quantitative) • Databases • Tools, i.e. software that is fully or partially available to third parties. • LCA database • Technology repository • Stakeholders database • Database of electricity generation technology specific sustainability indicators • … • Ecosense Web • Integrated modelling platform • Country models • Pan European model • Web based platform for elicitation of stakeholders preferences • …

  7. Providing inputs to energy policies • Who are the target users of the NEEDS results? • Which policy queries can be answered by NEEDS? • In which format and with what functionalities will the NEEDS results be provided to the users? • How will it practically be possible to access and exploit the NEEDS products? • What will happen once the NEEDS project is finalised?

  8. Target users

  9. Addressing policy queries • … by using evidence directly produced by the project

  10. Etc.

  11. Policy queries • Using evidence directly produced by the project • (simple) elaboration of the direct evidence

  12. Etc.

  13. Policy queries • Using evidence directly produced by the project • (simple) elaboration of the direct evidence • using the NEEDS modelling results • running the NEEDS modelswith new sets of assumptions • Introducing changes in the modelling tools • Carrying out additional, novel research

  14. Etc.

  15. Policy queries • Using evidence directly produced by the project • (simple) elaboration of the direct evidence • using the NEEDS modelling results • running the NEEDS modelswith new sets of assumptions • Introducing changes in the modelling tools • Carrying out additional, novel research

  16. Etc.

  17. Policy queries • Using evidence directly produced by the project • (simple) elaboration of the direct evidence • using the NEEDS modelling results • running the NEEDS modelswith new sets of assumptions • Introducing changes in the modelling tools • Carrying out additional, novel research

  18. Etc.

  19. Policy queries • Using evidence directly produced by the project • (simple) elaboration of the direct evidence • using the NEEDS modelling results • running the NEEDS modelswith new sets of assumptions • Introducing changes in the modelling tools • Carrying out additional, novel research

  20. Etc.

  21. NEEDS beyond NEEDS • Continuing access to the NEEDS results and tools • Continuing dissemination including website • Updating of the NEEDS databases • Improvement (coverage, new data) of the NEEDS databases • New policy-driven elaborations of NEEDS results • New model runs • Improvement of the modelling platform • New research
