Leading European energy technology plan was launched in . 30 cities, “smart” power
EU plans for 30 city a few days ago, took the lead in building a smart grid, the implementation of modern building insulation, leading to green technology in the world.
long making the EU strategic energy technology plan (SET) draft, EU wind power generation Department must turn to offshore wind power and wind electric power generation by 2020 to achieve total power one-fifth. The draft was also planning to promote high-tech solutions to climate change, and turned to low-carbon energy technology in the world at the same time, helps enterprises to seize the commanding heights of the European Union.
SET draft plan will be officially released in October, but according to Reuters, United States has already invested US $ 777 million for energy research, and the European Union to avoid falling behind, will also invest billions of euros in energy research. (US $ 1-6.83 million) it also says: “chronically underfunded status of study on the basis of the European Union, we need to motivate and stimulate the European Union personnel, recommending scientific exploration. ”
draft plan the establishment of 25 to 30″ intelligent city “, that is with Super insulation, can absorb from the garbage, such as solar and wind energy, and energy transmission to the ground of electric cars, trams, electric buses and other modes of transport. “These ‘ Smart City ‘ will become the core of intelligent network within Europe, which includes new construction and alternative modes of transport and ways. “The changes probably need to spend billions of euros of intelligent cities (billions of Yuan), but EU officials are still calculating the cost spent.
environmental protectionism on . the mixed reaction to the draft, but said the plan should completely replace coal and nuclear power. Geothermal industry through the development of natural heat below the surface, providing a stable base load electricity. The industry believe that geothermal energy provides the perfect solution, can replace the volatile wind energy, solar energy, but it was ignored. Geothermal energy Association in Europe (European Geothermal Energy Council), said: “If geothermal energy to be ignored in the future, it will be difficult to achieve the diversification of renewable energy. ”
in addition, improved energy efficiency will also be included in the agenda of the implementation plan of the European Union. European Aviation Agency (European Space Agency) in this regard can take under our wings. The draft plan said: “Advanced (space) insulating materials and ultra energy-efficient transformation system for available materials and the energy sector on land systems, can help improve energy efficiency on land. “(Mary North)
