Welcome to SETIS - Towards a low-carbon future

The Information System for the European Strategic Energy Technology Plan (SET-Plan)

SETIS

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).

The 4th General Assembly of the European Technology Platform on Smart Grids, organised with the support of the ERANET-SmartGrids project, is the premier forum for actively ensuring a low-carbon future and creating an open, free energy market for Europe’s electrical power sector and its customers.

Final ATEsT Workshop (Brussels, 26/03/2012 - 26/03/2012)

The ATEsT project aims to address the methodologies and modelling toolbox required to support the decision-making of the SET-Plan in the priority area of transition planning of the deployment of low carbon technologies and their supporting infrastructures. As the project reaches its end, the final workshop presents the outcome of this exercise and the identified main gaps and recommendations for future development of tools and models. The outcome of the work done can be found on the project website (www.atest-project.eu).
