Outcomes

ETI's programmes over the next 10 years will contribute to:

• Reducing greenhouse gas emissions (UK target - 60% CO2 reduction by 2050)
• Accelerating development and deployment of affordable low carbon technology solutions
• Increasing security of energy supply in conjunction with greenhouse gas mitigation
• Increasing the level and capacity of the low carbon skills pool - both in the UK and internationally

First Year Priorities

ETI's goals for 2008 include:

• Building and establishing a new organisation to deliver a step change in Energy research and technology
• Launching new technology programmes in offshore wind and marine technology
• Creating strategic roadmaps for low carbon technology demonstration in areas such as distributed energy, building efficiency, transport and biofuels
• Create new collaborative partnerships for innovative energy technology demonstrations
