Lappeenranta University of Technology | Strategia 2015 Yhdessä
Key EU energy policy objectives by 2020/2050
• Implementation of internal energy markets • Energy efficiency +20% (2020), 40 % Competitiveness (2050) • Increased resources for technology development
• Minimum reduction of EU CO2 emissions 20% (2020), 80-90% (2050) • Renewables 20% (2020), Sustainability 75 % (2050) • Energy efficiency 20 % (2020), 40 % (2050) • Development of CO2 capture and storage
Security of supply

• Development of cross-border transmission • Increase in own production • Enhancement of external energy relations Source: Fortum, J.Keronen
Energy revolution Distributed, non-controlled small scale generation; solar, wind, bio, tidal Distributed ownership, mass production, no emissions
Intermittent production, power balance problem Microgrids, self-sufficiency Challenging market problem because of subsidized production. At the same time feed in tariffs have accerelates technical development and innovations
Load monitoring, load control, demand response actions and business models Cut of peak powers, power balance management, Reserve power, cost optimization
Energy storages; batteries, electro-chemical conversion Short term (hours) and long term (days) balance of power and energy in system with high penetration of renewables Market models Self sufficiency, security of supply frakmentation vs. trans-european market Market based business vs. subsidized business

Increased energy conversion
Energy revolution China, India, USA, Europe Increased burning of coal in Asia will continue Europe; forerunner (flagship) vs. self destruction ?
If Europe is not a leader of gang in climate question, what will happen? +3-4 C increase of climate temperature can lead to runaway change (environmental impacts). In that phase then solutions in energy systems will have no impact. It’s time to operate now; CO2 market or/and technology development by feed in tariffs?
Shale gas and oil Additional time for fossil fuels? Low price will lift world economy? More emissions? Self-sufficient USA – change in global politics Role of energy resources from Russia in Europe ? Climate change and other boundaries of planet
