1 EUROGIA+ Information Day Paris, March 5th 2012 Christian Besson, Office Director

2 Agenda What is EUROGIA+? Why participate in EUROGIA+ How to submit projects?

3 An international industry forum promoting technology development and innovative applications through collaborative projects to provide the world clean, safe, available and affordable energy.

4 EUROGIA+: Association of clean energy technology providers

5 Promotes clean energy technologies by: Labelling transnational collaborative RD&D projects The EUROGIA+ label gives to all funding organizations the guarantee that the project is technically sound, innovative, well-planned and organized, and has a good chance of positively impacting the world energy system. The EUROGIA+ label facilitates successful funding applications for the projects. Participating in industry and public events promoting clean energy technologies

6 What is EUREKA? EUREKA is a pan-european network for market-oriented, industrial R&D A decentralized intergovernmental initiative started in 1985 Financial support from individual participating countries programs The internationally-recognized EUREKA label adds value and competitive edge to R&D projects Among its various programs are the Clusters programs, with each Cluster covering a particular industry sector e.g. IT, Energy, Water For more info, visit EUREKA s website:

7 EUREKA EUREKA Role in Product Development Chain: Help bridge the Valley of Death between idea and market Timeline of project development Concept Feasibility Product Process or Service Fundamental research Applied research Technological Development Commercial Exploitation EC Framework Program Bottom-up Industry driven Close to market Trans-national Industrial Innovation EUREKA Programs

8 EUROGIA+ within EUREKA The EUREKA cluster dedicated to low-carbon energy technologies Includes the full energy mix Renewables, Efficiency, Carbon Capture and Storage Received a 5-year mandate (2008 to 2013) to label R&D&D lowcarbon energy technologies projects EUROGIA+ promotes and facilitates partnerships between industrials and researchers across EUREKA member countries The ultimate goal is to help develop low-carbon energy technologies that are environmentally friendly while providing an affordable energy supply that satisfies the growing energy demand.

9 The EUROGIA+ Label EUROGIA+ label guarantees that the project is technically sound, innovative, well planned and organized, and reduces the carbon footprint of the world energy system: Project enrichment due to dynamic transnational peer review Improved project quality due to evaluation by both research institutes and industrials Potential for larger market access due to awareness of projects at international level Label is proof of quality to access national funding Label makes project more attractive e.g. to public authorities and venture capitalists

10 EUROGIA+ Key figures Key Figures 16 Board Members: 10 LE, 6 SME, 9 countries 17 Supporting Countries 8 Calls 40 International Experts 20 Countries involved > 250 Partners 75 POs 32 FPPs 25 Projects Labeled Budget: POs = 280 M ; labeled = 98 M

11 Why submit to EUROGIA+? Added value of label for public funding Access to network: easier identification of project partners, in other countries Advice from Experts Support during project execution

12 What do you need? A topic A project Partners An Application

13 Energy Mix and Value Chain Source Fossil Biomass Wind, Hydro, Solar (PV & Concentrated) Thermal Solar & Geothermal Conversion Energy Vector: Combustible Electricity Heat Storage Transport /Distrib. Use Transport Industry Residential Page 13

14 EUROGIA+ Technology Domains EUROGIA+ encourages partnerships between competencies covering a large spectrum of disciplines Critical Energy Sources Geothermal Solar Wind Power Biomass Hydro Power Waves and Tides Oil & Gas Enabling Technologies* Energy Efficiency CO2 mitigation Materials Tools, fabrication & Installation Processes Information & Communication Technologies (ICT) *The list is not exhaustive

15 Winning Project s Equation Industrial Innovation + Consortium Structure + Commercial Exploitation + National Priorities & Practices Solid concepts Market oriented Balanced Organisations types Competences Consortium Agreement Commercial prospects Public financial support s Rules & Availability ROI for funding countries

16 Why a trans-national project? Optimise consortium s competences by Bringing together experts from whichever EUREKA Member Countries they come Capitalising on all possible synergies (LE + SME + RI/Univ.) Improving products/results Quality and Efficiency Sharing risks and costs Avoid re-inventing the wheel R&D costs reduction thanks to all partners complementary contribution Public financial support encourages the needed risk taking Accelerate time-to-market & reinforce participants The competitiveness EUREKA Cluster for low-carbon energy technologies

17 Submission Criteria Consortium must comprise 2 or more industrials from 2 different EUREKA member countries Research Institute or University participation strongly encouraged but not mandatory Must demonstrate technical innovation Must have strong market and exploitation commitment The contribution from any given country and/or any given participating organization must not exceed 66% of the total budget Ideal EUROGIA+ Project: size: no limit in budget (10+ million ) Consortium: 2 countries, 2-3 industries and 2-3 academic partners Continuous submission but 4 evaluations/year; Next: 14 th Sept

18 2-step process: Process: Light, Fast, Interactive Project Outline (PO): Short Document addressing basic evaluation criteria Hearing & Evaluation by the Technical Committee Full Project Proposal (FPP): Complete Proposal s description Evaluation by the Technical Committee Close Cooperation E+PAC / EUROGIA+ Board At PO level: communication to E+PAC of accepted POs for advice on eligibility for financial support At FPP level: financial support s agreement & practical details

19 Fast process

20 Documents & Templates Available from website: «Submitting» References: White Book, Basic Evaluation Guidelines, Regulations Detailed Evaluation Criteria (what is expected from a good proposal) PO preparation: Guide for Proposers, PO Template (Word) FPP preparation: Guide for Proposers, FPP Template (Word), Financial tables (Excel) Form C (Commitment to run the project as labelled) Declaration of Accession to the Programme
