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 each sector can be viewed by selecting a sector from the drop down menus. These will be displayed on the map on the left of the page.

 

The European countries currently 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.

 

You can also view Industry and Technology Sector bar charts for non-EU partners by clicking on the Other Countries: Charts >> button.

 

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.

Country notes

The companies agreed that increasing energy efficiency in existing processes is the most important issue. They also indicated that the following are very important also:

  • Design in Policy strategy and monitoring
  • Company image and marketing
  • Energy efficiency in Industry
  • In-house savings
  • Sector benchmarking and assessment tools

When it comes to technology, bioenergy, fuel switching and Industrial CHP are given the highest ranking in Sweden. The pulp and paper industry ranks bioenergy high and that could be due to their use of wood as a raw material and because they have bioenergy within their portfolio.

 

The Carbon Market is not yet on the agenda and the companies rank it as of low importance. This could be because they don't have tough demands. These companies have enough carbon credits so that they can save to the next period. However, it could be that they don't have enough information in how they can use their credits and get involved in the CDM/JI market.
