Energy and climate change: two sides of the same coin
How can we secure competitive and clean energy supply against a backdrop of
climate change, growing global energy demand and future supply uncertainties?
| 3Energy for a Changing World
Background
.A common European response is needed to ensure a sustainable, secure and competitve energy future
.January 2007: European Commission presents proposal for integrated European energy policy endorsed by European Council on 9 March 2007
| 4Energy for a Changing World
The challenge:
| 4Energy for a Changing World
To establish an integrated Energy/climate change policy for Europe to combat
climate change and boost the EU’s energy security and competitiveness
.Sustainability (energy, environment)
.Security of supply
.Competitiveness

THE SUSTAINABILITY CHALLENGE
Sustainability
Energy 59%Transport 21%
Agriculture 9%
Industrial processes 8%
Waste 3%
Energy consumption accounts for 80% of all greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions in the EU
Current energy and transport policies would see EU CO2 emissions increase by around 5% by 2030
The present energy policies within the EU are not sustainable

THE COMPETITIVENESS CHALLENGE
Competitiveness
| 15Energy for a Changing World
The EU is increasingly exposed to price volatility on international
energy markets
• Example: oil price increase to $100/barrel in 2030 every EU citizen pays additional €350 per year
• Very little of this wealth transfer would result
in additional jobs in the EU
An Action Plan for a new industrial revolution
Core energy and climate change objective
| 17Energy for a Changing World
A 20% reduction
in EU greenhouse gas emissions by 2020
compared to 1990 levels
Energy policy priorities
| 18Energy for a Changing World
• Increase energy efficiency: saving 20% by 2020 sustainability, environment
• Increase renewable energy use: 20% by 2002, 10% biofuel component security of supply, environment, competitiveness
• Open and competitive internal energy market competitiveness, environment (i.e. better energy efficiency)
• Coherent external energy policy security of supply
• Low CO2 fossil fuel future
| 19Energy for a Changing World
Energy efficiency and renewable energies
.Improved energy efficiency has the potential to make the most decisive contribution to achieving sustainability, competitiveness and security of supply
.Energy Efficiency Action Plan: Realising the potential, saving 20% by 2020
.By 2020 the EU would use approximately 13% less energy than today, saving €100 billion
.BUT, this will require significant effort, both in terms of behavioral change and additional investment
| 20Energy for a Changing World
Energy efficiency and renewable energies
Key measures
.Using fuel efficient vehicles for transport, making better use of public transport and ensuring that the true costs of transport are faced by consumers
.Tougher standards and better labelling on appliances
.Improving the energy performance of existing buildings and make very low-energy construction the norm for new buildings
.Coherent use of taxation
.Improving the efficiency of heat and electricity generation, transmission and distribution
.A new international agreement
| 21Energy for a Changing World
Energy efficiency Key implementation instruments and renewable energies
.Intelligent Energy – Europe Executive Agency
.European commission Work Programme
.Energy Directives (Energy Performance of Buildings; Cogeneration; Eco-Design; Energy Services; Labelling)
.Energy Star Agreement
.Energy End-Use Efficiency
.Industrial agreements/commitments
.MamagEnergy and Sustainable Energy Europe Campaign
.Structural Funds and the EIB/EBRD
.Investments and financial incentives
| 22Energy for a Changing World
Renewable energy Proposals of the renewable energy roadmap
.Increase the share of renewables in the EU energy mix from 6.5% today to 20% by 2020
.Set a binding overall renewables target for each Member State
.National Action Plans that set the share of electricity, heating & cooling and biofuels in the energy mix
.Achieve in each Member State a minimum 10% of biofuels in transport fuels
| 23Energy for a Changing World
Internal market for gas and electricity
Unbundling, regulation and transparency
.Unbundling: ownership unbundling of a fully independent system operator
.Effective national regulators: harmonisation of powers and independence; tasking with development of the markets
.Cross-border regulation: a European network of independent regulators, strengthening the role of the “European Regulators’ Group for Electricity and Gas”
.Transparency: new legislation and minimum requirements for market players
| 24Energy for a Changing World
International energy policy
Priority measures
.A comprehensive Africa-Europe energy partnership
.An international agreement on energy efficiency
.EU-Russia Energy Dialogue
.EU-Caspian dialogues
.Cooperation with OPEC, Gulf Cooperation Council, Norway, etc.
| 25Energy for a Changing World
Energy technologies (including nuclear power)
Priorities
.Energy efficiency
.Biofuels
.Large scale offshore wind energy
.Photovoltaic
.Fuel cell and hydrogen technologies
.Sustainable coal and gas technologies, particularly carbon capture and storage
.Fourth generation fission nuclear reactors and future fusion technology
| 26Energy for a Changing World
Technology for competitiveness
.The European Union is already the global leader in renewable technologies
» Turnover of € 20 billion and employement of 300 000 people
» In wind energy, EU companies have a 60% share of the global market
» Opportunity for EU to drive the global research agenda
| 27Energy for a Changing World
Energy technologies (including nuclear power)
Nuclear energy
. Currently around one third of the electricity and 15% of the energy consumed in the EU comes from nuclear
. Nuclear power is less vulnerable to fuel price changes than coal- or gas-fired generation
. Uranium comes from sources which are suffcient for many decades and widely distributed around the globe
. Nuclear energy is one of the cheapest sources of low-carbon energy that is presently produced in the EU
. Nuclear energy is one way to achieve significant reductions in emissions
. Each Member State must decide for themselves whether to rely on nuclear power
. If the proportion of nuclear energy in the EU’s energy mix declines, then other low-carbon energy sources must fill the gap
| 28Energy for a Changing World
A low CO2 fossil fuel future
Priorities
.Stimulate the construction and operation by 2015 of up to 12 large-scale fossil fuel power plants with carbon capture and storage technologies
.Provide a clear perspective for when coal and gas fired plants will need to install CO2 capture and storage technologies
.By 2020 all new coal-fired plants should to be fitted with CO2 capture and storage and existing plants should then progressively follow the same approach
| 29Energy for a Changing World
