Horizon 2020 – Overall objectives
http://ec.europa.eu/research/horizon2020
Responding to the economic crisis by investing in future jobs and growth
Strengthening the EU’s global position in research, innovation and technology
Addressing people’s concerns about their livelihoods, safety and environment
Contributing to sustainable development (at least 35% of the overall budget)
Supporting EU policies (e.g. Europe 2020 / Energy Union)
Horizon 2020 Programme
A single programme bringing together three separate
programmes/initiatives:
- The 7th Research Framework Programme (FP7)
- Innovation aspects of Competitiveness & Innovation Framework Programme (CIP)
- EU contribution to the European Institute of Innovation and Technology (EIT)
Focus on societal challenges facing EU society, e.g. health, clean
energy and transport
Strong focus on SMEs (20% of total budget for societal challenges)
Simplified access for all companies, universities, institutes in all EU
countries and beyond

Horizon 2020: THREE PRIORITIES
Horizon 2020: THREE PRIORITIES
Excellence Science:
High-level scientific research & world-class research infrastructure
in order to attract the best scientists of the EU in the world
Industrial Leadership:
Strategic funding in key-enabling technologies to attract private
investment in research and innovation (i.e. ICT, nanotechnologies,
materials, biotechnology, manufacturing, space)
Societal Challenges:
Addressing key societal challenges (climate, environment, energy,
transport etc) through multi-disciplinary applied research including
social sciences & humanities
Horizon 2020 - Overall budgets
Total budget H2020: EUR 74,83 billion Budget of the Energy Challenge: EUR 5,69 billion
PRIORITY 1 : Excellent Science
Why:
World class science is the foundation of tomorrow’s
technologies, jobs and wellbeing
Europe needs to develop, attract and retain research talent
Researchers need access to the best infrastructures

IA: funding is more focused on closer-to-the-market activities. For
example, prototyping, testing, demonstrating, piloting, scaling-up
etc. if they aim at producing new or improved products or services
CSA: funding covers the coordination and networking of research
and innovation projects, programmes and policies.
Type of actions

Energy work programme 2016-17
Fundamental transformation of Europe's energy system: secure, sustainable,
competitive and affordable energy for EU consumers
Important milestones for this transformation are the EU's energy and climate
targets for 2030:
- at least 40% domestic reduction in greenhouse gas emissions compared to
1990
- at least 27% for the share of renewable energy consumed in the EU
- at least 27% improvement of energy efficiency and an electricity
interconnection target of 10%
Priorities of the Energy WP 2016-17
Enable the participation of consumers in the energy transition
Improve the efficiency of the energy system, especially as regards the
building stock
Develop the next generation of renewable energy technologies and their
integration in the energy system (including energy storage)
Enhance the cooperation with national funding programmes

Efficiency
1. Heating and cooling
The aim is to:
moderate the demand for heating and cooling
increase energy efficiency in supply
maximise the use of renewable energy
reduce costs of heating and cooling to affordable levels for all
achieve the development and effective management of district
heating/cooling systems with cost-effective and efficient management
as well as reuse of waste heat
2. Engaging consumers towards energy efficiency
Change in consumer behaviour with respect to the uptake of energy
efficiency solutions and growing use of renewable energy sources:
consumers need to be at the centre of the energy system
Research and Innovation Actions are needed to better understand how
consumers take decisions
ICT-based solutions could help them to adopt more energy efficient
behaviour
Innovative strategies are sought to raise the capacity of public authorities
to increase public engagement in the energy transition
3. Buildings representing 40% of final energy consumption → highest potential
for efficiency improvement
Focus :to reduce the cost of renovations targeting improved energy
efficiency, with the aim of achieving Nearly Zero-Energy Buildings
(NZEB) performance
5. Innovative financing for energy efficiency
Improve the energy efficiency of products, production processes and
technologies in support of the competitiveness of EU industry and
services
Main focus on: manufacturing processes, energy recovery, energy
audits and energy management systems, re-use of industrial waste,
optimisation of the value chain and industrial symbiosis
4. Industry, products and services
Focus: development of innovative financing mechanisms, investment
instruments and schemes for energy efficiency that allow the
demonstration and uptake of business cases related to energy
savings, and kick-starting a large scale market for energy efficiency

market as soon as possible (off-shore wind, certain areas of PV, CSP,
tidal and wave energy, and geothermal energy)
To support to technologies that have started to reach cost-
competiveness but where continued efforts are needed to increase this
(on-shore wind, areas of PV, advanced biofuels, and solar heating and
cooling)
To support new and emerging technologies (e.g. advanced and solar
fuels, ocean thermal energy conversion (OTEC), etc.)
To fully mature technologies where further innovation remains
important (hydropower, PV-thermal)

3. Enabling the decarbonisation of the use of fossil
fuels during the transition to a low carbon economy
Fossil fuels will be used in Europe's power generation as well as in
industrial processes for decades to come.
A forward-looking approach to Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS)
and Carbon Capture and Use (CCU) for the power and industrial
sectors is crucial for reaching the 2050 climate objectives in a cost-
effective way.
Shale gas can contribute to our energy security, provided that issues
of public acceptance and environmental impact are adequately
addressed.
The integration of (fluctuating) renewable electricity generation in our
energy system requires new solutions for fossil fuel power plants to
provide highly flexible yet efficient back-up power to stabilise the grid
