SETIS: providing targeted support to the SET-Plan
SETIS is the European Commission's Information System for the SET-Plan led by the Joint Research Centre. It supports the strategic planning and implementation of the SET-Plan. It makes the case for technology options and priorities, monitors and reviews progress regarding implementation, assesses the impact on policy, and identifies corrective measures if needed.
Technology and Capacities Mapping
The SETIS website contains scientific reports, transparent data and methodologies to help move forward in implementing the SET-Plan. It also features news, events, interviews and initiatives related to the SET-Plan and its stakeholders.
SETIS has two principal activities, which are based on its own transparent research:
- Technology mapping: key information on the status and prospects of low-carbon technology with respect to EU policy goals;
- Capacities mapping: an estimation of the current public and private research and development (R&D) expenditures across the EU-27 on the priority energy technologies.
SETIS has also developed an Energy Cost Calculator, which compares cost projections for different technologies. It also shows the main elements that contribute to the cost of production. This information can be readily used to analyse where strategic efforts should be targeted.
