European Energy Technologies

The SET PlanWell defined elements are:- Industrial Initiatives- Technology Platforms- European Energy Research Alliance

EIT-KICEIT-KIC „Sustainable Energy“ and SET Plan:Focus on industrial innovation and the connection to education (people)

KIC Breeding ground for innovationin sustainable energy

Vision (work under way)

The Carbon Paradigm: burn fossile fuels; produce CO2 as burden

4

Vision (work under way)

The Carbon Paradigm: burn fossile fuels; produce CO2 as burden

Vision statement

This KIC will change the carbon paradigm:

Carbon is too valuable for „just one cycle“

We establish the basics for a future carbon cycle economy.

The Carbon Revolution

6

The concept (1) We

- recycle CO2 and process synfuels or use it for

value-added hydrocarbons- employ electric energy from renewables

for the recycling of CO2

- employ hydrogen as storage medium,

chemical process component, and fuel for

regulating electric power - need baseload electricity from coal/nuclear

- integrate electricity/heat generation and

chemical processes- conceive an efficient transnational distribution

system (grid)

7

The concept (2)

People

We will educate and train the people needed

for a future carbon cycle economy of Europe.

Their mission:

Bring about the carbon revolution and

build the sustainable energy system!

Bringing a new facet into the SET Plan

KIC on Sustainable Energy as proposed:

New approach

Source for innovation: fills gaps in the technology landscape

Builds on European strengths in energy technologies

Potential for huge impact
