10 3. IEA ENERGY TECHNOLOGY NETWORK

11 Ensure Security? Yes, through Energy Technology RD&D Collaboration In 1974 the IEA established a structure for governments to carry out collaborative RD&D to conserve existing resources develop alternative energy sources improve energy efficiency Since then, 80 multilateral technology initiatives (Implementing Agreements) have been created, with 41 currently operating First IAs focused on coal now the focus is on renewables IAs are the core of a network of senior experts the IEA Energy Technology Network

12 Committee on Energy Research and Technology (CERT) Senior technology experts representing IEA Member countries Objectives Enhance and Expand Analysis Provide Strategic Policy Guidance Engage with Major Economies Strengthen the Energy Technology Network Encourage Investments in Clean Energy Technologies

13 CERT Bodies Relevant expert delegates from IEA Member countries Working Parties End-use (buildings, electricity, industry, transport) Fossil fuels (coal, gas, oil) Fusion (physics, materials, devices) Renewables (technologies and deployment) Experts Groups and advisory boards Renewables R&D Priority-setting and Evaluation Forums for international co-operation through technical and cross-cutting workshops

14 Implementing Agreements More than 6,000 scientists and experts Representing 500 government agencies, research organisations, universities, energy companies, industries, businesses, and consultants Over 1,400 projects completed to date + EC + OPEC + UNIDO +ITER + 61 Private companies (13 located outside IEA region)

15 Implementing Agreement members Partner and other countries 12% Private sector 10% IEA Member countries 74% Int. Orgs. 4%

16 Implementing Agreement members - detail IEA North America IEA Asia-Pacific Asia (China, India) Central/South America IEA Europe Middle East/N. Africa Southeast Asia Other Europe Africa Russia

17 What is an Implementing Agreement? A flexible mechanism for collaborative RD&D and related topics Technical analysis, data, benchmarks, recommended practices, online tools, expert networks, project financing, personnel exchanges, pilot plants A contract based on the principle of equitable sharing of rights and obligations All technologies supply and demand Cross-cutting activities Energy efficiency (buildings, electricity, industry, transport) Fossil fuels Renewable energies and hydrogen Fusion power

18 Benefits of participating Linking research, industry and policy Reduced cost and duplication of work Greater project scale Accelerated development and deployment Harmonised technical standards Strengthened national RD&D capabilities Intellectual property rights Information sharing and networking Linking IEA member countries and non-member countries

19 IEA and the IAs The IEA Secretariat supports IAs by Synthesising policy messages from results Raising awareness of IA results Policy makers, private sector, other stakeholders Facilitating contact with Partner countries Providing legal advice Implementing Agreements Independent groups do not belong to the IEA Self-funded Provide targeted expertise to IEA Data, technology advice, roadmaps, workshops
