Summary of key aspects
▪ The Vision and SRA express our targets and R&D needs.
▪ The Implementation Roadmap describes how we plan to
achieve the targets: activities and projects
▪ Give priority to R&I topics
▪ Draw support from a range of financial sources (not only
Horizon Europe).

Summary of key aspects
▪ Define technology objectives: power & heat
▪ Estimate their costs
▪ Present indicative key performance indicators quantitative
: technology cost reduction, improve efficiency & lifetime,
upscaling +qualitative: acceptance, sustainability
▪ Funding repartition at EU, National levels and industry
contribution
▪ Draw a flowchart 2020-2030

Objectives of the WGs for the Roadmap
Objectives of the WGs for the Technology roadmap
• Phase 1 (January 2019 - March 2019): Collect data and discuss
RD&I priorities for the relevant theme of the WG, taking the
SRA as a basis.
• Phase 2 (March 2019 - April 2019): SC prepare a list of topics
to be included in the Roadmap. Questionnaire
• Phase 3 (May-June 2019). Validation of the Roadmap during an
open consultation process and publication.
