EU - FP7-ENERGY - Specific Programme 'Cooperation': Energy
Framework
Initiator:
Researchers will help transform the current energy system into a more sustainable one, making it less dependent on imported fuels. The end result will be a diverse mix of energy sources, in particular renewable ones, energy carriers and non-polluting sources. Energy efficiency, which includes rationalising use and storage of energy, will be enhanced, thus addressing the pressing challenges of security of supply and climate change. Activities in the energy area include: • Hydrogen and fuel cells • Renewable electricity generation • Renewable fuel production • Renewables for heating and cooling • CO2 capture and storage technologies for zero emission power generation • Clean coal technologies • Smart energy networks • Energy efficiency and savings • Knowledge for energy policy making
