Objective The objective of this project is to promote modern European state-of-the-art energy technologies in the Mercosur region. The Merosur countries are committed to an ambitious process of economic integration and have entered in negotiations with the European Union of a free trade agreement. The Mercosur region presents excellent conditions for the transfer and market uptake of European energy technologies. OPET Mercosur will act as a focal point of this process. In cooperation with relevant market actors in the Mercosur countries, OPET Mercosur will identify specific market opportunities for the implementation of efficient technologies, develop 'delivery mechanisms' for specific technologies and markets ('product-market combinations') and mobilize Government institutions, industrial and consumers' organisations, in order to remove barriers and foster market introduction. OPET Mercosur will serve as a focal point for members of the European OPET network.
