Secure, Clean and Efficient Energy

The Energy Challenge is designed to support the transition to a reliable, sustainable and competitive energy system.
To make the transition to a competitive energy system, we need to overcome a number of challenges, such as increasingly scarce resources, growing energy needs and climate change.

The Energy Challenge is structured around seven specific objectives and research areas:
• Reducing energy consumption and carbon footprint
•  Low-cost, low-carbon electricity supply
•  Alternative fuels and mobile energy sources
•  A single, smart European electricity grid
•  New knowledge and technologies
•  Robust decision making and public engagement
•  Market uptake of energy and ICT innovation.
