Project description
Working towards a clean energy transition in Europe
To achieve Europe’s vision of a climate-neutral economy, local and regional governments must work closely with research institutes and private companies to develop affordable low-carbon technologies. Thus, the European Strategic Energy Technology Plan (SET Plan) was adopted in 2008 to promote collaboration amongst stakeholders. The EU-funded SET PLAN ENVE 2019 project will organise the 12th annual SET Plan Conference in conjunction with the EU Commission for Environment, Climate Change and Energy in Bucharest, Romania. The conference will establish a forum for participants to discuss innovations and best practices in green technologies and devise policies to facilitate the transition towards sustainable energy systems in Europe.
Objective
The 12th SET Plan Conference will be held during 12 - 14 June 2019, at the Politehnica University of Bucharest – Romania, under the auspices of the Romanian Presidency of the Council of the EU and will be conjoined with the external ENVE (Environment, Climate change and Energy) Commission and Conference within the European Committee of the Regions. ENVE is the Committee of the Regions’ Commission where more than 120 EU local and regional leaders are working for environment, climate change, energy and space policies.
The main organizer of the Conference is the Romanian Municipalities Association (AMR), being the first time in the SET-Plan history, when an association of local authorities will organize this conference. The organisation of the conference will be performed in close cooperation with the European Commission DG Energy, DG Research and Innovation and DG Communications Networks, Content and Technology, European Committee of the Regions, Ministry of Energy of Romania and the Ministry of Foreign and European Affairs of the Romania; the Global Covenant of Mayors; the Permanent Representation of Romania to the EU and Cityhall of the District 3 of Bucharest.
The main objective of the 12th year anniversary SET Plan conference is to perform an exchange of numerous innovative ideas and good practices with a clear involvement of local and regional leaders from the European Union in areas as: Integrated energy systems; Energy poverty and management of the energy transition in vulnerable regions; Improving performance and reducing cost of renewable energy; Energy Efficiency in Buildings; Energy Efficiency in Industry; Smart Cities; e-Mobility; Carbon Capture Utilisation and Storage; Digitalization and ICT in energy; Blue energy. Since this exchange should be inclusive, pragmatic and forward looking, we intend to involve a large number of EU, national, local and regional public and private stakeholders, academia, as well as a consistent number of political leaders.
