ETIPs FORUM - European Technology and Innovation Platforms FORUM
The main objective of the ETIPs FORUM is to streamline shared topics into multiple working sessions in order to:
- Share information about the activities carried out within ETIPs and affiliated entities and identify
related synergies;
- Identify, plan and carry out potential common activities and topics that can be better tackled together
and create greater impact (e.g. joint position papers on a common challenge);
- Define mutually supportive communication and dissemination activities (e.g. joint participation in
external events);
- Stand together to send joint messages (e.g. answer to EC consultations)
The final goal is to accelerate the execution of the SET Plan
SNETP - Sustainable Nuclear Energy Technology Platform
The Sustainable Nuclear Energy Technology Platform (SNETP) was established in September 2007 as a R&D&I platform to support and promote the safe, reliable and efficient operation of Generation II, III and IV civil nuclear systems. Since May 2019, SNETP has been operating as an international non-profit association (INPA) under the Belgian law pursuing a networking and scientific goals.
It is recognised as a European Technology and Innovation Platform (ETIP) by the European Commission.
The international membership base of the platform includes industrial actors, research and development organisations, academia, technical and safety organisations, SMEs as well as non-governmental bodies.
ETIP PV - European Technology and Innovation Platform for Photovoltaics
ETIP PV mobilizes all stakeholders sharing a long-term European vision for PV, helping to ensure that Europe maintains and improves its industrial position, in order to achieve a leadership position within the global PV market. The focus of ETIP PV’s activities is on the opportunities and challenges facing the European photovoltaic sector. We make recommendations with a view to improving the competitiveness of the European PV industry, both the upstream segments (incl. feedstock supply, equipment manufacturing, cell and module production) and the downstream ones (incl. technical solutions for grid integration, market solutions for grid integration, installation). ETIP PV gathers more than 200 experts covering the entire PV value chain.
ETIP WIND - European Technology and Innovation Platform on Wind Energy
ETIPWind was first established in 2016. The platform is funded by the European Commission under the SETIPWind project in the framework of the Strategic Energy & Technology Plan (SET Plan).
The European Technology and Innovation Platforms (ETIPs) were created to support the implementation of the SET Plan across Member States, industry and researchers in key sectors. They promote the market uptake of key energy technologies by pooling funding, skills, and research facilities.
ETIPWind gathers 35 wind industry and research experts who define common Research and Innovation (R&I) recommendations for EU and national policymakers. One of the ETIPWind’s missions is to identify strategic R&I priorities for wind energy so it can feed the elaboration of the calls for proposals of Horizon Europe – the EU’s funding programme for R&I.
ETIP RHC - European Technology and Innovation Platform on Renewable Heating & Cooling
The European Technology and Innovation Platform on Renewable Heating & Cooling (RHC-ETIP) brings together stakeholders from the biomass, geothermal, solar thermal, heat pump and district heating and cooling and thermal storage sectors to define a common strategy for increasing the use of renewable energy technologies for heating and cooling and phasing out fossil fuels.
Every year, almost 50% of the total energy consumed in Europe is used for the generation of heat for either domestic or industrial purposes. The vast majority of this energy is produced through the combustion of fossil fuels such as oil, gas and coal – with an impressive environmental impact in terms of greenhouse gas emissions. Today the social, natural and economic costs of climate change highlight the urgency of moving towards a new and more sustainable energy scenario.
For all these reasons policy makers, investors and citizens are realising that the time for heating and cooling from renewable energy sources has come.
ETIP HYDROPOWER
The ETIP Hydropower aims to be a recognised interlocutor for the European Commission, Member States and Associated Countries about the hydropower’s sector specific R&I needs. ETIP Hydropower foresees working relationships with the relevant national/regional/EU-level platforms to ensure synergies between EU, national and regional activities.
ETIP BIOENERGY - European Technology and Innovation Platform for Bioenergy
The European Technology and Innovation Platform Bioenergy is an industry-led stakeholder platform that brings together relevant actors from academia, industry, and civil society, engaged in the development of sustainable bioenergy and competitive biofuel technologies. One major task of ETIP Bioenergy is to address the technical and economic barriers to the further development and accelerated commercial deployment of bioenergy technologies for the widespread sustainable exploitation of biomass resources.
ETIP Bioenergy represents a privileged channel of communication with the European Commission on topics related to advanced biofuels and intermediate energy carriers. The ETIP Bioenergy is recognized by the European Commission as the main interlocutor for DG-RTD for the bioenergy sector, in particular to implement the Strategic Energy Technology Plan in the field of biofuels and bioenergy. As an industry-led stakeholder forum, ETIP Bioenergy has the role to represent the unbiased, united, and consolidated view of the biofuels and bioenergy industry in Europe.
ETIP Bioenergy contributes to create an “enabling environment” for the consolidation and further development of bioenergy and advanced biofuels technologies supporting the long-term decarbonisation of the energy system consequently substituting fossil fuels.
ETIP Geothermal - European Technology and Innovation Platform on Geothermal
The European Technology & Innovation Platform on Geothermal (ETIP-Geothermal) is an open stakeholder group, endorsed by the European Commission under the Strategic Energy Technology Plan (SET-Plan), with the overarching objective to enable geothermal technology to proliferate and reach its full potential everywhere in Europe. It brings together representatives from industry, academia, research centres, and sectoral associations, covering the entire geothermal energy exploration, production, and utilization value chain.
ETIP SNET - European Technology and Innovation Platform on Smart Networks for Energy Transition
Launched by the European Commission in 2016 as part of the SET Plan, ETIP SNET was created with the aim of developing a vision for Research and Innovation with a focus on smart energy networks. More specifically, ETIP SNET was designed to bring together different perspectives and expertise to provide input to the SET Plan actions, in particular Action 4 “Increasing the resilience, security and intelligence of the energy system”. The focus on energy grids is central for our evolving energy landscape; grids are the backbone of our electricity system, and they are expected to grow in importance as we move towards a net-zero energy system, also due to the increased needs for flexible generation.
