Scientific Reference System on new energy technologies, energy end-use efficiency and energy RTD

Objective

A Scientific Reference System (SRS) will. This project will produce unbiased, validated, organised and scientifically agreed technical and economic information on renewable energy and end-use efficient energy technology. Moreover, comparisons with other clean energy technologies of comparable importance for sustainable development e.g. Fuel Cells, H2-vectors and Heat Pumps, will be done. In order to underpin sustainable energy R&TD-strategies, all energy technologies (incl. fossil, nuclear) will be covered in collecting all historical European energy R&TD expenditure data since the 1960s.Today only fragmented or inconsistently categorised data is available. It lacks verification via quality systems and is not yet suited for comparative integration. The SRS resolves this: A EU-25 synopsis of available data will be co-ordinated, discrepancies will be discovered and possibly resolved, and best practice statistical methods identified. In an ERA approach, the SRS joins IEA, EU-institutional, national and academic data-providers, and experts for energy-technology, -economy and -policy research. Results will underpin future energy-economy-environment models and EU regulations with references, thus supporting sustainable energy policy and Global Change Mitigation. The project structure consists of:
1) Co-ordination
2) Methodology
3) Technology Data Validation Synopsis
4) Energy R&TD Expenditure Data Gathering [public + private]
5) Consensus Building and Diffusion for Decision Support.

The last work-package will integrate, publish and disseminate results from all work-packages via an open platform for stakeholders to feedback i.e. the interested scientific community, policy- and decision-makers and public. There will be a Yearly Report, and a stakeholders' conference for scientific and political Consensus Building near end-of-project.

Fields of science (EuroSciVoc)

CORDIS classifies projects with EuroSciVoc, a multilingual taxonomy of fields of science, through a semi-automatic process based on NLP techniques. See: The European Science Vocabulary.

Keywords

Project’s keywords as indicated by the project coordinator. Not to be confused with the EuroSciVoc taxonomy (Fields of science)

Programme(s)

Multi-annual funding programmes that define the EU’s priorities for research and innovation.

Topic(s)

Calls for proposals are divided into topics. A topic defines a specific subject or area for which applicants can submit proposals. The description of a topic comprises its specific scope and the expected impact of the funded project.

Call for proposal

Procedure for inviting applicants to submit project proposals, with the aim of receiving EU funding.
