Descrizione del progetto
Affrontare le sfide dell’energia idroelettrica in Europa
L’energia idroelettrica, in quanto fonte di energia pulita e rinnovabile, può contribuire al successo della transizione energetica in Europa. Il Forum europeo sull’energia idroelettrica ha elaborato un’agenda per la ricerca e l’innovazione e una tabella di marcia strategica per l’industria nell’ambito della sua visione di sviluppo dell’energia idroelettrica in Europa. Creando legami con le autorità nazionali, il progetto ETIP sull’energia idroelettrica, finanziato dall’UE, integrerà l’agenda per la ricerca e l’innovazione nel piano strategico europeo per le tecnologie energetiche al fine di accelerare la diffusione delle tecnologie verdi. Combinerà inoltre le sue forti reti per formare un’organizzazione sostenibile che servirà sia l’energia idroelettrica che l’intero settore delle energie rinnovabili per contribuire al Green Deal europeo.
Obiettivo
The ambitious plan for an energy transition in Europe now seeks to achieve a low-carbon climate-resilient future in a safe and cost-effective way, serving as an example worldwide. In many European countries, the phase out of nuclear and coal generation has started with a transition to new renewable sources comprising mainly of solar and wind for electricity generation. However, solar and wind are variable energy sources and difficult to align with demand. Hydropower which strongly contributed during the last century to industrial development and welfare, provides high flexibility and storage services required for ensuring energy security and delivering more solar and wind power onto the grid. Hydropower has all the characteristics to serve as an excellent catalyst for a successful energy transition.
Building from this extensive programme of consultation, the Hydropower Europe Forum (https://hydropower-europe.eu/) has developed from 2018 to 2022 a Research and Innovation Agenda (RIA) as well as a Strategic Industry Roadmap (SIR). The Consortium is particularly motivated (1) to integrate its RIA and SIR into the Strategic Energy Technology (SET) Plan roadmap establishing links with national authorities and (2) to consolidate its strong networks into a sustainable association serving not only the hydropower sector but the whole renewable energy sector contributing towards the European Green Deal.
Built on the more than 600 stakeholders representing all sectors, who actively participated through the Hydropower Europe Forum, ETIP HYDROPOWER will further align and coordinate the industry RIA and SIR strategies to provide consensus-based strategic advice to the SET Plan covering analysis of market opportunities and R&I funding needs, biodiversity protection and ecological continuity. Another goal is, in one with Europe and the latest EU climate and energy related policies, deepening the understanding of innovation barriers and exploitation of research results.
