Energy Technology Reference Indicator (ETRI) projections for 2010-2050

The Strategic Energy Technology Plan (SET-Plan) is the technology pillar of the EU's energy and climate policy. This report contains assessments of energy technology reference indicators (ETRI) and it is aimed at providing independent and up-to-date cost and performance characteristics of the present and future European energy technology portfolio. It is meant to complement the Technology Map of SETIS. Combined these two reports provide: - techno-economic data projections for the modelling community and policy makers, e.g.: * capital and operating costs; * thermal efficiencies and technical lifetimes; - greenhouse gas emissions, and water consumptions; - an overview of the technology, markets, barriers and techno-economic performance; - a useful tool for policymakers for helping to identify future priorities for research, development and demonstration (RD&D); The ETRI report covers the time frame 2010 to 2050. This first version of the report focuses on electricity generation technologies, but it also includes electrical transmission grids, energy storage systems, and heat pumps.
