ALTENER: New and Renewable Energy Resources

Renewable energy sources (RES) can provide a wide range of energy services sustainably, and can be produced locally within the EU, delivering secure supplies of electricity, heating and cooling, and motive power for transport without adding to greenhouse gas emissions and climate change. RES are becoming more competitive, and policies supporting the use of RES are making the manufacture and supply of RE technologies, as well as the production of bioenergy resources (biomass and biofuels) more attractive as business opportunities. Actions supported under ALTENER should build on existing EU policies and legislation (see below), and help to increase the use of RE in the EU.

The 1997 White Paper on Renewable Energy set the context for the EU policy and legislative framework that has been put in place for the renewable energy sector in recent years, and this has recently been up-dated in the 2007 energy package.

For electricity, the Directive on electricity produced from RES sets national indicative targets and addresses the need to overcome market barriers. In its recent communications the Commission has emphasised the need to take further action if these targets are to be achieved. For heating and cooling, there is not yet any EU legislation aiming specifically to maximise the up-take of RES (biomass, solar and geothermal), but the Directive on the Energy Performance of Buildings (EPBD), the Directive for the promotion of cogeneration, and the Biomass Action Plan are all helpful.

For domestic and small-scale renewable energy systems, which include both systems integrated into buildings and small stand-alone RE plants, the EPBD also plays an important role.

For biofuels, the Commission has adopted two important Directives, one to promote biofuels for transport, the other to reduce excise rates for biofuels. Future policy and regulatory frameworks for this sector are outlined in the recently revised Biomass Action Plan.

ALTENER projects may include one or more of the following Key Actions:
