ICM Set-Plan
Combatting climate change is one of the biggest challenges of our time. Europe is taking a leading role and aims for an economy with net-zero greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions by 2050. Europe’s energy and industrial sectors can contribute to this goal by adopting low-carbon technologies at large scale.
This is the goal of the European Strategic Energy Plan (SET-Plan), that brings together the European Commission, national authorities, as well as industrial, societal and research stakeholders in a coordinated effort towards climate-neutral energy systems.
Industrial Carbon Management (ICM) represents a wide range of technologies and is recognised by the SET-Plan as an essential solution towards this goal.
About SET-Plan
The European Strategic Energy Technology Plan (SET Plan) is a European initiative that was launched in 2007 by the European Commission. It aims at accelerating the development and deployment of low-carbon technologies through cooperation amongst EU countries, companies, research institutions, and the EU itself.
In September 2015, the Commission published a Communication defining the new European research and innovation strategy for the coming years. The Integrated SET Plan builds on the Energy Union strategy and highlights the areas where the EU needs to strengthen cooperation with countries and stakeholders to bring new, efficient and cost-competitive low-carbon technologies faster to the market.
Set-Plan Actions
The Integrated SET-Plan identifies ten priority actions that could help accelerate the energy system transformation and the realisation of the EU’s aim to become the global leader in the deployment and use of renewable energy
01
Performant renewable technologies integrated in the energy system
02
Reduce the costs of technologies
03
New smart technologies and services for consumers
04
Resilience and security of the energy system
05
New materials and technologies for energy efficiency solutions for buildings
06
Energy efficiency for industry
07
Competitive in the global battery sector and e-mobility
08
Renewable fuels and bioenergy
09
Industrial Carbon Management
10
Nuclear safety
Each of these actions has developed an Implementation Plan with ambitious targets and Research & Innovation activities needed to achieve them. The progress of the Implementation Plan is monitored by Implementation Working Groups (IWG).
Set-Plan Action 9: Industrial Carbon Management.
Implementation of the SET-Plan Action 9 on Industrial Carbon Management builds on the work of the Implementation Working Group 9 (IWG9).
In 2016, the European Commission, the SET-Plan countries and industry agreed on 10 ambitious targets for Action 9, outlined in a Declaration of Interest (DoI).
In 2017, IWG9 elaborated the Implementation Plan of Action 9 that presents 8 Research and Innovation Activities to reach the DoI targets for 2020 and further actions to meet Key Performance Indicators for 2030.
The IWG9 aims at involving more countries, more funders and more stakeholders to accelerate the large-scale deployment of CCUS technologies and meet the targets of the Implementation Plan.
