Sustainable Energy Technology SET Priorities

In each country, companies and organisations were interviewed by SETatWork in order to identify indicative priority rankings for various Sustainable Energy Technologies (SET) and Industrial Sectors.

The results of these interviews for non-European countries can be viewed by selecting a country from the list above the rotation globe on the left-hand side of the screen. This will display bar charts showing priorities by Industry Sector and Technology for that country on the right of the page.

You can also view Industry and Technology Sector bar charts and maps for European partners by clicking on the EU: Maps & Charts >> button.

The European countries included in the analysis are Bulgaria, Czech Republic, Denmark, Germany, Italy, Poland, Portugal, Slovakia and Sweden. Click on a country on the map to view bar charts showing priorities by Industry Sector and Technology for that country on the right of the page.

Brief notes are included at the foot of the page. Where data is not yet available, countries are shown grey on the map and the bar chart columns are left empty.

A Country Profile for each of the countries covered by the SETatWork project is available on the SETatWork Country Profiles page of this site. You can also view the Profile for the country listed by clicking on the "Download Country Report" link.

Industries in general are very small and composed of a few large companies (cement: 3 - Ceramics: 2 - glass: 2 - chemical: mostly imports - mining: almost all foreign companies, new facilities - pulp: 2 - refineries: 1, public owned - steel: 2). Food processing may be an exception due to the potential for obtaining energy from wastes (pork, poultry, wine, fruit, salmon, etc.)

In relation to renewable technologies, wind energy leads development activities in Chile with around 2500 MM USD in projects being evaluated. Biomass and bioenergy are also of interest interesting, while solar (photovoltaic) is still considered too expensive.
