Welcome to SETIS - Towards a low-carbon future
The Information System for the European Strategic Energy Technology Plan (SET-Plan)
SETIS is... Technology mapping
The Technology map reports vital information on the status and prospects of low-carbon technology goals in the EU.
SETIS is... Capacities mapping
The Capacities map quantifies the current public and private research and development (R&D) expenditures across the EU- on the priority low-carbon energy technologies.
SETIS is... Building a community
Managed by the Joint Research Centre (JRC), SETIS works in close collaboration with the European Technology Platforms, European Energy Research Alliance and European Industrial Initiatives (EIIs).
Week of Innovative Regions in Europe - WIRE2012 Conference (Krakow, Poland, Jun 09, 2012 - Jun 09, 2012)
The Week of Innovative Regions WIRE 2012 Conference will be a flagship discussion forum dedicated to regional development based on knowledge and innovation addressing main current issues related to the effective implementation of EU headline targets at the regional level. The Conference will dedicate special attention to the regional dimension as these regions are at the core of the Cohesion Policy and create significant stakeholders of the EU main documents such as the Strategy Europe 2020 and the Horizon 2020.

JRC publishes guidelines for cost benefit analysis of smart grid projects (May 04, 2012)
Smart Grids are a central element in the European strategy towards a low-carbon energy future. But renewing the electrical system does not come cheap – according to the International Energy Agency (IEA), some EUR 1.5 trillion will be needed from 2007 to 2030 to move from generation to transmission and distribution. Given the scale of these investments, a methodological approach is needed to estimate the costs and benefits of Smart Grids, based on actual data from pilot projects. This is why the Joint Research Centre (JRC) analysed the results and lessons learned from past and ongoing European Smart Grid projects and then developed a comprehensive assessment framework for cost-benefit analysis (CBA). This was then fine-tuned using a real case study (InovGrid, led by Portuguese distribution operator EDP Distribuição).
2012 European Industrial Bioenergy Initiative Conference (Conference Centre Albert Borschette – European Commission, room AB 0A Rue Froissart 36, 1040 Brussels, Jun 05, 2012 - Jun 05, 2012)
