The European Commission published an overview of the European Industrial Initiaitves that are being established under the EU Strategic Energy Technology Plan ( SET-Plan).   The core idea behind the SET Plan is to make low-carbon technologies more affordable and competitive. The EU’s approach focuses on the European Industrial Initiatives (EII). Industry-led, the EIIs aim to strengthen industrial participation in energy research and demonstration, boost innovation and accelerate deployment of low-carbon energy technologies. EIIs target sectors in which working at EU level adds most value, and technologies for which the barriers, the scale of the investment and the risk involved can be better tackled collectively. The Joint Undertaking for Fuel Cells and Hydrogen was the first Initiative approved under the SET Plan. The spanish presidnecy unveiled three new EII’s on June 3.   The publication can be downloaded here.
